I am upgrading my SharePoint farm from sharePoint 2010 to sharePoint 2019 using the data backup and restore method.

Question

I Setup 3 farms 2013, 2016 ,2019 with 3 tier structure but when I am doing delta migration I lost my SharePoint 2013 application server. so, I take backup of content databases from SharePoint 2010 now restore into 2013 db server but when I am upgrading the the databases schema using the upgrade command it is showing me error and same when i am running the test command it is showing me error as I attached the screenshot below.

Please help how can I proceed now.

Answer 1

Hi @Deepanshu ,

One possible reason for this error could be that the databases were not upgraded to the required version before attempting to upgrade to SharePoint 2013. According to the Microsoft documentation, all databases must be upgraded to version 15.0.4420.1017 or higher before upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

Another possible reason could be that the upgrade process was not performed correctly. It is recommended to follow the steps outlined in the Microsoft documentation to ensure a successful upgrade process.

I suggest reviewing the documentation and ensuring that all the prerequisites are met before attempting the upgrade process again.
