I upgraded the machines one by one, starting with the director when I
went from 1.38.11 to 2.0.2. The more distro packages you can use, the
faster this process will go. I was able to get it all done in one
workday, so my backups were not affected, but my understanding is that a
2.0.x director will back up a 1.38.x client just fine. I wouldn't
recommend the other way 'round, really.
