Hi Erik,
you can keep bacula 5.2.12 on your Fedora system and backup your windows with 
older bacula-fd. It should be ok as long as you don't use bacula 5.2 specific 
option in the FileSet.

The rules are:
- the fd must not be newer than the director.
- the director and the storage must run the same version.

Regards.
