+The Data Mover backups taken with {oadp-short} 1.3 can be restored using {oadp-short} 1.3, 1.4, and later. This is supported.
+
+.Not supported
+
+Backups taken with {oadp-short} 1.1 or {oadp-short} 1.2 using the Data Mover feature cannot be restored using {oadp-short} 1.3 and later. Therefore, it is not supported.
