Doc Text Feature:

Allow engine-backup on el7 to restore backups taken on el6.

Reason:

engine 4.0 does not support el6. Users that want to upgrade from 3.6 on el6 to 4.0 on el7 have to do this by backing up the engine on 3.6/el6 and restore on 4.0/el7.

This feature, backported from 4.0, allows to do such a migration also in 3.6.

Result:

Using this flow, it's possible to migrate a el6 setup to el7:

On the existing engine machine run:
1. engine-backup --mode=backup --file=engine-3.6.bck --log=backup.log

On a new el7 machine:
2. Install engine, including dwh if it was set up on el6.
3. Copy engine-3.6.bck to the el7 machine
4. engine-backup --mode=restore --file=engine-3.6.bck --log=restore.log --provision-db --no-restore-permissions
5. engine-setup

Check engine-backup documentation for other options, including using remote databases, extra grants/permissions, etc.
