iPad Mini Older - not backing up

I have an older IPad mini that I just reset and am logging in to use with my current Apple ID. When setting it up, none of my backups are compatible with the OS on the Ipad and it won’t let me continue past that Backup page in the set up. Please help!

iPad mini, iOS 9

Hello,


You will not be able to restore an iPad to a backup if the backup was conducted on an iPad running a newer version of the system software.
