By definition how can you restore across versions? Restore means to go BACK not FORWARD.

It is a nasty and dirty move, not advisable. PSC obviously felt that there were problems with the release version 8 otherwise version 9 would not have been released. Version 9 too is not felt appropriate enough hence Progress OpenEdge 10, now 10.1 with the Eclipse open-source release.

Prorest the backup with v8 and then run conv89 from version 9?

Sometimes it's real hard for me to follow you :D

1. Convert DB to multi-volume from Progress V8 (use V8
installation)

proutil <db> -C truncate bi
prostrct convert <db>

2. Convert DB from V8 to V9 (use V9 installation)

proutil <db> -C conv89

Good Luck.
