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

Now the database is upgrade to the version 4.2.7.0 and you can restore without any issues.

Recycling of application pools when memory limits are exceeded.

Recycling of application pools when memory limits are exceeded.

Summary:  Application pools recycle because memory limits have been enabled and exceeded. Recycling based on memory limits is not usually necessary in a 64-bit environment, and therefore recycling should not be enabled. Unnecessary recycling can result in dropped requests from the recycled worker process and slow performance for end users who are making requests to the new worker process.

Cause: Application pools are configured to recycle when memory limits are exceeded. 

Resolution: Change the application pool recycling settings in Internet Information Services (IIS).

1.    Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.

2.    Identify the server on which this event occurs. On the Central Administration Web site, in the Monitoring section, click Review problems and solutions, and then find the name of the server in the Failing Servers column. If there are multiple failing servers in a server farm, you must repeat the following steps on each failing server.

3.    Verify that the user account that is performing the following steps is a member of the Administrators group on the local computer that you identified in the previous step.

4.    Log on to the server on which this event occurs.

5.    Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

6.    In the Internet Information Services management console, in the Connections pane, expand the tree view, and then click Application Pools.

7.    In the Application Pools list, right-click the application pool on which you want to disable the memory limits, and then click Recycling.

8.    In the Edit Application Pool Recycling Settings dialog box, in the Memory Based Maximums section, clear the Virtual memory usage (in KB) and Private memory usage (in KB) check boxes, and then click Next.
