that's the highest V7 storage version number known to all the Confd programs that handled this particular storage in the past. Actually, storage format version number 43 corresponds to release 7.508, just look at the link provided in my previous posting. So, this storage has already been upgraded to support all the features contained in 7.508, 8.002 and 8.055.
In case new features changing the storage format would be introduced in, let's say, 7.509, 8.004 and 8.065, and you would upgrade to a Confd knowing about these three newer versions, then that Confd would execute upgrade modules for 7.509, 8.004 and 8.065, but it would not execute upgrade modules for 7.506, 7.508, 8.000, 8.002, 8.050 or 8.055 when starting up with this storage, because this storage doesn't require the latter upgrades any longer - even though the newer Confd still *knows* how to apply older upgrades, and does apply older upgrades when starting up with an older storage. In this context, "starting up with" both applies to the usual Up2Date process and to restoring an older backup into a newer Confd.
