Problem
Backup Exec Migration Assistant (BEMA) fails in verification of Microsoft SQL Server Edition when Migrating from Backup Exec 21 to Backup Exec 23.
Figure 1.
Figure 2.
Error Message
The Backup Exec Migration Assistant cannot continue because the Microsoft SQL Server edition on the source Backup Exec server is not compatible with the edition on this Backup Exec server.
Cause
SQL Version difference.
Solution
Upgrade from Backup Exec 21.x to Backup Exec 22.2 on the source server and then use Backup Exec Migration Assist to migrate from 22.2 to a higher versions of Backup Exec.
Backup Exec 22 and above uses a 64-bit instance of SQL Express 2017 to host the Backup Exec database. Backup Exec 21 uses SQL Express 2014 instance.
