I have a SQL Server backup file from another PC – I cannot change this file
When I try to restore, I get this error:
The database was backed up on a SQL Server running version 10.50.1600. That version is
incompatible with this server, which is running version 10.00.2531. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server.
You’re trying to restore a database backed up on SQL Server 2008 R2 to a server that is running SQL Server 2008. You can’t go backwards. You either need to upgrade the 10.00.2531 server to SQL Server 2008 R2, or you need to use the import/export wizard, SSIS, or a 3rd party tool to copy the schema/data over.
