Refs Formated Volume Connection from 2019 to 2025 Server

[govi]

Hi All,

Hope everyone doing good.

Has anyone tried adding ReFS formatted volume from Windows Server 2016 to 2025? Anyone faced RAW issue after attaching to Server 2025?

Is it safe to attach iSCSI drive which is formatted in Refs format to Windows Server 2025. We have migrated from VMware to Hyper-V and installed new backup Server 2025. 2016 version is bit old and right time to update. 2025 Server is fresh installation.

I am bit afraid to connect iSCSI Drive to Server 2025 since it might corrupt entire volume and I might loose the backup Data. We are not going to use server 2016 server so we are not going to connect back this iSCSI drive and I am 100% it will corrupt the data since meta data will be upgraded to higher version and Refs does not have backward compatibility.
Although we have backup Copies and live data. Just don't want to risk it.

Thanks,

Govi
