Message Text

The backup of the system database on the device %ls cannot be restored because it was

created by a different version of the server (%ls) than this server (%ls).

You can’t restore a backup of a system database (

,

, or

) on a server build

that differs from the build on which the backup was originally created.

The database schema for system databases might be changed across server builds. To make

sure that a schema change doesn’t cause inconsistencies, the RESTORE statement compares

the server build number of the backup file to the build number of the server on which you are

Note

Installing a servicing update like cumulative update or service pack or a GDR changes the

server build number. Server builds are always incremental.
