	Can a node running SR9.7 do backups for nodes running SR10 that are on
	the same ringnet? The SR10 transition class I took could not come upt
	with a conclusive answer. SR9.7 nodes are supposed to be able to have
	file access to SR10 nodes and vice-versa, but the class supervisor wasn't
	certain whether the SR9.7 version of WBAK/RBAK could handle the SR10 ACL's
	correctly, and he could not find out whether there was a version of the
	SR10 WBAK/RBAK that had been compiled to run under SR9.7. I have not
	found anything in the SR10 release notes (as far as I've read so far) that
	gives me any hints, my tape drive is attached to a DSP80 which can not be
	upgraded to run SR10. Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether
	I'll be able to run backups on my SR10 master node?

	We have 400 sr97 nodes and maybe 6-10 sr10 nodes.  Our backups are done
exclusively on sr97 and we have noticed NO problems.
