Hi all,
With the recent updates to SQL server 2019 versions we have encountered an issue with the version compatibility to Azure managed instance SQL versions.
I am getting this error message when trying to restore a backup file created from a DB on the managed instance -
database was backed up on a server running version 15.00.2000. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 15.00.4003. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server.
On the local server i have the latest CU1 installed and still it is not working although the version is higher.
The DBs are from an older instance so mostly compatibility level 110 (SQL server 2012).
Unfortunately the Data-tier export is also failing due to different reasons so i cant use that approach until fixing those.
Any idea on how to complete a restore with the new versions?
Before Azure went to version 15.00.2000 the normal restore process on the SSMS went without any issues when restoring the bak file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
