I am trying to restore SQL Server database backups from files *.bak
, and whenever I try to restore using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I get the following error:
Error restoring database "ALA_PPD".
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database has been copied to the server with version 12.00.2000. This version is not compatible with this server running version 11.00.2100. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
I understand that the versions of the servers, where they are different, are my question - is there a way to convert these 12.00.2000 *.bak
files that can be used in version 11.00.2100?
I know that I can install ver. 11.00.2100 and successfully recover, but I have databases in my installation 12.00.2000 that cannot be deleted.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is a question about noob.
