As far as I understand it, you can use burp2 _software_ in "burp1" mode 
safely. We ourselves have upgraded to burp2 (in burp1 mode) without 
substantial issues.
Using the burp2 backup _protocol_ (mode) is another story, this is 
intended e.g. to do on-the-fly deduplication of data among other nice 
stuff. But this is still experimental and I would not use it in 
production without extensive testing.

Hope this helps, JC
