Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint" - Error while restoring the site

Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint" - Error while restoring the site

Error: Restore-SPSite: Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '4.2.7.0' or later.

Resolution: First check the patch level of  your source and destination environment. Make sure your destination environment is not at lower version than the source. If so , you may need to patch your environment as same as your source.

Steps to Check Database Schema Versions :

Central Administration application Management à Manage content databases Select your database where you want to restore click on the DB name à  under “Database Versioning and Upgrade” you can see something like below

Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPContentDatabaseSequence Current Schema Version: 4.1.30.0, Maximum Schema Version: 4.2.7.0

Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPContentDatabaseSequence2 Current Schema Version: 4.1.7.0, Maximum Schema Version: 4.1.7.0

Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPContentDatabase Current Schema Version: 14.0.6137.5002, Maximum Schema Version: 14.0.7105.5000

If the Current Schema Version is less than the Maximum Schema Version, then the database should be upgraded as soon as possible.

To Upgrade content database, Execute the below command in powershell.

“Upgrade-SPContentDatabase <Content_db_name>”

After executing the command,

Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPContentDatabaseSequence Current Schema Version: 4.2.7.0, Maximum Schema Version: 4.2.7.0

Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPContentDatabaseSequence2 Current Schema Version: 4.1.7.0, Maximum Schema Version: 4.1.7.0

Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPContentDatabase Current Schema Version: 14.0.7105.5000, Maximum Schema Version: 14.0.7105.5000

Is possible to attach the same Content DB in two sites in Same farm

Is possible to attach the same Content DB in two sites in Same farm.

Issue: I am getting many questions from the SharePoint community that” Is possible to attach the same Content DB in two sites in Same farm”

Solution: I say answer as Yes and No.

1)   We can attach but, The expected behavior as the Site Collections have the same GUID, so the second website which has same content attached  will not be able to see all data of them. In this case we can consider the below steps to overcome this.

2)   Restore the Content Database to a Web Application on another farm

3)   Use Backup-SPSite/Restore-SPSite which assigns a new GUID to the Site Collection so you can 'duplicate' it within the same farm

4)   Use Export-SPWeb/Import-SPWeb
