Why each option
In Prisma Cloud Self-Hosted, a manual backup can only be restored to the exact same console version that originally created the backup.
Backups are not cross-version compatible due to schema differences between Prisma Cloud releases, so any version is not a valid restore target.
Prisma Cloud Self-Hosted backups are version-specific because the data schema and configuration structures can differ between releases. Restoring to a different version risks schema incompatibility, data corruption, or silent data loss. The same-version constraint ensures the console can correctly interpret and load all backed-up configuration objects, including policies.
There is no N-2 version compatibility window for manual backups in Prisma Cloud Self-Hosted; the backup is tied to the exact version that created it.
Restoring to the latest version is not supported unless it happens to be the same version that created the backup, as newer versions may have incompatible schemas.
