restore backup from previous version in new environment
Hi Olaf,
The best way to acomplish your goal in future is to activate Retention in Deleted items and Inplace Hold in your Mailboxes.
If you change version of Exchange you cannot restore the EDB to a newer version, you have to restore your Environment to a Network that does not have access to your production Network, then restore your Exchange and AD to that Restore Environment and recover your email.
This is a common scenario since the existence of Exchange each time we need to restore to a point to the previous version, that's why the Inplace Hold will fit these needs in the future.

Thanks for the detailed answer! This is exactly what I was looking for.
