Of course 4.3 is not compatible with 4.2 or, probably 4.3.21.0.0.0.1. Oh, I have no doubt that I'll remember to run db43_recover instead of db42_recover the next time my BDB systems deadlock, lest I risk losing all my data, just like it says in that prominent statement buried 42 pages deep in the info docs.

Not that I'm BITTER or anything.

Any manual recovery activity seems to me a good time for a backup before.

This does not excuse any sloppy design, coding, or documentation. But system management has a few responsibilities, too.
