Compatibility
=============
Backward compatibility for backups is important so that our users are always
able to restore saved data. Therefore restic follows [Semantic
Versioning](http://semver.org) to clearly define which versions are compatible.
The repository and data structures contained therein are considered the "Public
API" in the sense of Semantic Versioning.
We guarantee backward compatibility of all repositories within one major version;
as long as we do not increment the major version, data can be read and restored.
We strive to be fully backward compatible to all prior versions.
