Hi,
Have to start planning/testing a upgrade of SQL 2008R2 in the next month or so. I was planning on going to 2012 but I'm wondering if I should jump straight to 2014. Anyone done this all in one go, any problems/issues?
I will upgrade one instance to start with, however I will still need to backup/restore from 2008R2 to this 2012 server, mostly using RedGate SQL Backup, however there are occasions when vanilla backup/restore are used.
No replication or log shipping (as yet).
The server is a development environment for SSIS & SSRS, basically it's a BI server.
Thanks in advance.
Dave
