Note

If you use an earlier Cumulative Update (CU) version of SQL Server 2019 to create a backup file that is compressed by using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), the backup file can be used to restore data on SQL Server 2019 CU16 or later. If you use SQL Server 2019 CU16 or a later minor version to create a TDE-compressed backup file, the backup file cannot be used to restore data on SQL Server 2019 CU15 or earlier because the backup file format changes and is incompatible with earlier SQL Server versions. For more information, see official Microsoft documentation.
