I have a database deployed on a testing machine and a production machine. There is some data (columns of a table) in the testing database that I would like to copy over to production.

When I try to restore a backup onto the production box I get the following error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server running version 10.50.1600. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 10.00.4000. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Is there an alternate way to get the data into the table?

    This answer ONLY if you need the data (from here: http://sqlserverlearner.com/tag/the-database-was-backed-up-on-a-server-running-version-10-50-1600-that-version-is-incompatible-with-this-server):

    • Script the object you want (table and data) under tasks, generate scripts, select the object, and make sure to include all the data (possibly the schema as well). Take this to a new query window and save the SQL file, then execute it on your other server.
