Support for Ontap 9.5 with BA Client

There is no documentation for support of BA client backups of Ontap 9.5 on NetApp appliances. The highest mentioned is Ontap 9.3 supported bu 8.1.4.

I have a customer that is about to migrate to a new data center and as part of this move replace their NetApp with the newest running Ontap 9.5. The current Ontap 9.3 appliances are backed up with BA client 8.1.4.1.

Please test Ontap 9.5 and BA Client 8.1.4.1, or higher existing BA client versions already released.
