* You can use this version of the Database Manager GUI only for creating backups and not for restoring purposes. However, if you have installed a newer version of the Database Manager GUI that supports the restore function (7.4.03, for example), you can also restore databases that have an older version (7.2.05, for example), since this database tool is downward compatible.
