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.
Supported SQL Server Versions
In line with the Microsoft Compatibility Matrix, Druva has certified and supports the following SQL Server versions:
SQL Server 2022

SQL Server 2017
SQL Server 2016, starting with Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Operating System Compatibility: Druva supports these SQL Server versions only if installed on a Windows version that Microsoft currently supports for that version of SQL Server, according to the Microsoft Compatibility Matrix.
For more detailed information on which Windows versions are compatible with each SQL Server release, please refer to Using SQL Server in Windows on the Microsoft website.
