So I had originally posted this in another thread that is actually marked as solved from the original question.
I am reposting in a new thread because this needs attention for me to move forward.
OK so my backup from ADMS 2012 Basic from the old server appears to have successfully restored to ADMS 2014 Basic on the new server. I have installed the 2014 Basic Client and can log in and see the files within the restored 2014 Vault. However, I have not attempted to use any applications (Inventor primarily) to pull down any files yet. There are a dew things that I am seeing that I do not understand.
Please note that I am only testing at the moment so if there is something I need to do or change about my methods that is the information I am looking for.
A couple of things I would probably do before I make the actual move:
I feel that I am very close to having the proper method for moving and testing our setups to 2014 but I really need to understand these issues.

First, it is really good to here that you are performing upgrade testing prior to deploying it on the production server.
Irvin,
Thank you, this information parallels replies I got in the older thread this was also posted in.
The validation did complete itself yesterday and all seems fine.
I did review the log files and it appears that the Filestore Validation completed without any of the cleanups you mentioned.
The one thing I do notice in all the logs are bunch of Error: Soap Exception entries however everything appears to be fine.
One other question on the restore process. When looking at the old Vault it says that Defragmentation Recommended. Once the backup was restored to the new Vault it also said Defragmentation Recommended. However after the Filesstore Validation had completed it now says Defragmentation Not Recommended. Did the Validation somehow take care of that?
My path here is to move us up to Vault Basic 2014 (Vault and Clients) then to install Pro 2014 in place over Basic. I then will move us up to 2015 pro before I start develop life cycles and the like.
Not sure where I will be in this process before I go to AU this year but I hope to hear some good information on the 2015 product to help guide me along.
Hope to see you there.
