Version management in SAP ERP

[EdgarsRD]

Hello,

We're undergoing a landscape upgrade to SAP NW 7.5 EHP 8
As part of the upgrade process, the test environment was copied over to the dev environment via system copy. Thus, all the version management data was overwritten.

My question is this - I know that a part of the version management data is stored in table VRS_DISP and VRSD. Do You have any idea on a way to restore this data from a backup. Either a table transport or another method?

Found this SAP note, but it feels awfully sketchy:

Aside from that, we did SPDD and SPAU adjustments in the upgraded system, so around 30k objects differ between the backup and the dev system.

Any other ideas?
