Hi,
I am trying to restore a site backup from SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4571.1502) to SharePoint 2016 server (version '16.0.4351.1000') but I am getting following error. Below are ULS logs.
Could not restore SPSite [Url=/][ID=d119535e-6e8b-401c-89b4-f4dc27de56ed] from C:\Backup\xyz.bak with Preserve = False. System.ArgumentException: Version string portion was too short or too long.

at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPSiteCollection.RestoreWithDeleteSupport(String strSiteUrl, String strFilename, Boolean bOverwrite, Boolean bGradualDelete, Boolean hostHeaderAsSiteName, Boolean preserveSiteId)
If anyone had any clue.
SQL server 2012 is used for installation and is on separate machine.
I am using Powershell to restore.
