Note

Additional Considerations

An older backup can be restored to a newer Enterprise server. Once the backup has been loaded, database migrations will be applied to bring the older database up to the newer version.

Danger

A backup from a newer Enterprise server cannot be restored to an older version of the Enterprise server.
