Description

Ignoring incremental backup (which requires diff scans introduced in 1.10.0), kudu-backup is a client-side application that can be safely used against older versions of Kudu, probably all the way back to 1.0 (if not older). We should doc that for the sake of users of Kudu who are stuck on older versions but would still like a simple backup/restore solution.
