I have tried to restore a SSAS database (abf-file) which has been created by a backup on a SQL Server 2012 to a SQL Server 2008 R2 and got the error "Backup and restore errors: Error occured during Restore/Synchronization: Instance versions used are incompatible. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices)"
I've already read that the Compatibility Level 1100 cannot be changed:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg471593.aspx
Is there any possibility to restore the database anyway just like special deployment / processing / backup options on SQL Server 2012 (visual studio, management studio), (third party) tools,... in order to have a database with the Compatibility Level of 1050?
I'm looking forward to your suggestions and ideas. Thank you very much.
