title: Can I safely restore a Scylla backup from 1.6 in scylla 2.0 or 2.1
body: <p>I'm reading the documentation on Scylla's upgrade procedures (
  reading the dochttp://docs.scylladb.com/upgrade/upgrade-guide-from-2.0-to-2.1-ubuntu/ for example), and I'm seeing the standard "Stair-Step" path is required from 1.6->2.0->2.1, etc. 
  As a general question, if I have a backup from  an older version of scylla 1.6 (or 1.4 or 1.5), is can I load that into a newer release and  the data be migrated automatically? Is there a manual process or a tool that I can use?</p>
  
  <p>Or is the only way to get data from 1.6 to 2.1 to load data into a 1.6 database, do a 1.6->1.7 upgrade, a 1.7->2.0 upgrade, then a 2.0->2.1 upgrade. </p>
