This is why users have to first create a backup of the SQL server database &amp; then export it to the new server. Users should also run a compatibility test prior to the operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Automated Solution (Direct): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The automated solution is the major method to migrate SQL Server 2008 R2 to 2016 step by step.
