Getting the following error when trying to run SureBackup in Veeam which is on a windows server 2019.
“Error: VM was created with the later version of Hyper-V than the one installed on host.”
The VM’s are configured with version 10 and they are on server 2022. Server 2019 supports only until configuration 9.0.
Is there any way to run the surebackup for VM’s with configuration version 10.0 on this host?
Thank you.

Hi @sghosh
Welcome to the community. It may not be possible as you are trying to run them on an older version i.e 9 whilst VM compatibility is set to version 10.
Essentially, not forward compatible.
‘You can only import a virtual machine if the Hyper-V host supports that configuration version. Typically, this means that you can import a virtual machine to a Hyper-V host running a newer version of Hyper-V, but you cannot import a virtual machine created on a newer version of Hyper-V to an older version of Hyper-V.’
