The following software versions and system requirements are supported:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 or later

• 64-bit Windows operating system

• .NET Framework 4.6 or later

• SQL Server 2008 or later with datetime2(7) only: Salesforce DATE and DATETIME fields are created as DATETIME2(7) fields in the local database. To create these fields as DATETIME instead, set the Database Compatibility Level of the Salesforce backup database to 90 before you replicate the data.
