Can I load a Q10 10.3 backup onto a Z10 10.2.1 via Link?

Does anyone know if this would work? I backed up my Q10, which is running 10.3.0.1052, via Link, and I have a Z10 running 10.2.1.something.

I've heard of people installing Q backups to their Zs, so I'm curious if this would work.

I ask because I only have a Mac, in pretty bad condition, so installing leaks doesn't seem possible with it.

Sorry, that won't work. Link will not restore a backup from a higher OS to a lower OS, even on the same device. You would have to upgrade the Z10 to an equal or higher OS version before you could restore the Q10 backup to it. It sounds like you'll have to await the official 10.3.1 update (possibly next month).
