[VSS] Can I downgrade from VSS (VAST Security Station) back to VAST2 after upgrading?

Question

Can I downgrade from VSS (VAST Security Station) back to VAST2 after upgrading?

Answer

No, once you have upgraded from VAST2 to VSS (VAST Security Station), you cannot downgrade back to VAST2. The new software structure of VSS includes updates and enhancements that are not compatible with the older VAST2 architecture. This irreversibility is due to fundamental changes in how data is managed and functions are integrated in VSS, which are designed to provide improved performance and additional functionalities that VAST2 does not support.
