    Did you take a backup prior to migration?

    All migration steps are here:

    Upgrade or migrate to Endpoint Protection 12.1.6 - 12.1.6 MP4

    If you're doing recovery/DR it should be the same version.

    Upgrade the existing SEPM to 12.1.6 MP4, take a backup, migrate to the new server.
