config export/import GS724T v2 -> v4

I have a 10+ years old GS724T v2 and planning to replace it with a brand new GS724T v4.

Is config upload/download expected to work?

The old switch produced "config.bin" and it's seems like the new one expects .txt format.

    No, unfortunately the config from V2 is not compatible with V4, they also have different firmware.

      How about v3 -> v4. Would that work?

      We have a couple of v3 as well which we might want to replace.
      Or at least have a solid backup procedure in case any of them fails.
