Recoverpoint 4.4 support for 4.1 Rest API
Can anyone tell me in RP 4.4 still supports the 4.1 REST API. Since the URL starts with the version, how many back revs are supported?
Obviously I can't access new features but will all my existing API calls work, and is the 4.4 upwards compatible if I just change the URL to have 4_4 instead of 4_1? I can't find any documentation that covers this, sure I can get the updated WADL etc but nothing obviously says if older versions of the API are still supported.
No Events found!

Hi there,
Yes, it's backward compatible down to the oldest version supported. It is would always be recommended to the work with endpoint of the current release.
As you stated, new features are naturally unsupported on versions and endpoints w/o them and previous versions would be more exposed to issues fixed in later versions.

What is the oldest version support as far as 4.4 is concerned? The problem with the REST API is that with the version embedded in the URL we have to make code changes for every release. Back when we used the CLI we generally had upward compatibility over many releases so we only changed when we needed a new feature. If the REST is back compatible for multiple releases that will be fine. The issue is that if we upgrade we will then NOT work with older versions.
