I can't comment on the MAP aspects, but the error message is clear. You try to restore a SQL Server backup that was taken on a SQL Server which has a higher version than the one you try to restore to. Using backup and restore you can go up in version, but not down.
MAP error; backup file is not compatible...
Hi Microsoft,
For years I was able to open .BAK files created by this specific customer. Now when I try to open a .BAK with the same newest version of MAP Toolkit 9.9.13.0 as it also was installed on the customer site, I get the following error;
"A failure occurred while importing the database. Refer to the log file for more details. The specified backup file is not compatible with the version of SQL server currently running. Please use a backup file that is compatible with this version."
The customer confirmed that during the inventory wizard they checked exactly the same checkboxes as last year. Could you please:
- Send me a list of possible causes of this error divided by things to ckeck on our (Crayon) site and on the customers site?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Jordy
