I have no problems with restoring backups of 5.xx on 5.yy routerboard RB450G. (I have thousands of these RB450G and no time to configure from default configuration). And no problems with restoring 6.zz to 6.vv (if zz and vv <20).
But with 6.20, the syntax of a few commands has changed, and maybe the format of backup files. So, I have to do as Chupaka said!
