Hi Team,
I am trying to restore a back up.and I am seeing the error.

The media family on device 'C:\Test\fwsmall-12-3_supraekeybackup_virtusa.bak' was created using Microsoft Tape Format version 1.240. SQL Server supports version 1.0.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.


Please help , how to proceed.

Thank you,
Vinay

What software was used to generate the bak file? What operating system is the originating server and what version of SQL Server? What operating system and which version of SQL Server is the server you are performing the restore on?

This might be a corrupted bak file though.
