Can SQL Backup 4.5 restore backups made with 3.2?

It seems like not because I get an error message saying "Failed to read file list from backup file".

    Yes, it is possible to restore a backup created with SQL Backup 3.2. Could you pls run a couple of tests on that file and check if the results returned are correct? Thanks.

    master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE SQBHEADERONLY FROM DISK = [<file name>]" '

    master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = [<file name>]" '

    master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = [<file name>]" '

    master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = [<file name>]" '
