Certified platforms
This section outlines the certified platforms and highlights the SQL Server versions Druva supports, closely following Microsoft's Compatibility Matrix. This approach ensures alignment with Microsoft's recommendations for compatibility and security.
Key Considerations
Version Support: If a major version of SQL Server is supported, all corresponding minor versions (e.g., SP1, SP2, etc.) of that major version will also be supported.
Edition Support: We support Web, Developer, Standard, and Enterprise editions.
Express editions are not supported.
