Can you take a SQL2008 database backup and restore it to a SQL2005 server using SQL Backup 5?

    Hi,

    No, backups are not backward compatible. So even though you can take a backup of SQL Server 2005 database and restore it to SQL Server 2008 but you cannot restore a SQL Server 2008 database backups to SQL Server 2005, 2000 etc etc.

    This is a SQL Server restriction and not a SQL Backup restriction.

    Thanks,
    Priya
