I have recently moved my main machine from Windows 7 to Server 2008 R2. Just before I did the install, I used the Windows Backup facility to create a backup on a file share.
I am now using the Server Backup facility in 2008 R2 to restore this and it is not working. When I use another Win7 machine, I point the restore program at the folder containing the backup fileset and it lets me look through them. In R2, I point it at the same folder and it tells me that "The specified remote share does not contain any backup."
I naively assumed that the two systems would be compatible, is this not the case? Is there anyway to get that data back again?
When you make a backup I it creates a couple VHD files. You should be able to simply mound one of those VHD files directly and get access to what you want.
