Query - backups across versions ?

Query - backups across versions ?, Are they cross compatible, i.e. 4.x to earlier

Depending on your login account name and assuming you are on windows and haven't moved your default mail folder it will be something like: "C:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\The Bat!" Close the bat while you do this as some programs won't back up files that are open/in use.
