Restore on different version

Hi, I was asked to try a restore for a client on version 7.31, using a
7.30 backup. I told them that this was not supported, but they
insisted that I do the restore and prove that it doesn't work.

So I set up a database on another machine, took the 7.30 backup (that
was done on an HP opsys) and tried to restore it on the 7.31 database
(that is on a Solaris opsys), with the following result:


Continue restore? (y/n)y
Do you want to back up the logs? (y/n)n
Physical restore failed - buc_fe.c : Archive API processing failed at
line 740 for msgtype

Program over.



My manager is still not happy that this doesn't work, and says I didn't
try hard enough. How can I respond to this - seriously ?
