Hi,

I just got the newest DBDump 'sde-20160531-TRANQUILITY-legacy.zip'.
I am trying to restore it in SQL Server Management Studio 2012.
But I keep getting the following error:

DATADUMP201605311144.bak is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally.

Did you change the SQL version to 2014 ? or am I missing something?
This used to work.
Mind you, I haven't restore a DBDump since at least 1 year.

Help would be very welcomed.

You need SQL Server 2014 to restore the database backup file.
