It means that the new version of something will still work with things that the previous version worked with.
For example the PlayStation 2 is somewhat backwards compatible with the PlayStation 1 because you can play Playstaton 1 games on the PlayStation 2. It is not completely compatible however because not all of the PlayStation 1 accessories work with the PlayStation 2.

∙ 15y agoBackward compatible means that a computer or computer component, or computer program is compatible with older versions of itself. For example, since windows XP is backward compatible with windows 98 (for the most part) then any software for windows 98 should run on windows XP (for the most part). Another example would be 8X AGP slots which are designed to also allow backward-compatiblity with older 4X cards.
