I'm a developer, not a DBA, working on a DR solution to back up a client's website site and data to server that our company hosts for disaster recovery. I've got the scripts and programs working that do the backups, zip them up, transfer them, and then the restore, but I ran into a hitch while testing. The server I'm using to act as the "client" is running Sql Server 2008 R2, and I'm using my laptop as the "DR" server, which is running Sql Server 2008. The restore fails because of incompatibility of versions.
Any way around this?
