Recovery of Data from Lower Version

[Former Member]

Would I cause Hana to act abnormally if I took my Hana version 86 backup and Recovered in on Hana version 96 or 97?
Please advise.

Cheers

It wont be possible. A SAP HANA database cannot be recovered to a SAP HANA database with a lower software version. The SAP HANA database software version used for the recovery must always be the same version or higher than the SAP HANA database used to create the backup.
