Hi,

I'm unable to restore a backup which was performed in the SP2010 to the other.

Backup taken in the server with version: 14.0.4763.1000

Tried restoring in the server with version: 14.0.6137.5000

when I tried this I was getting an error saying the taken backup can be restored in the version either 14.0.4762.1000 or the later but can't be done in this version. But while seeing the numbers, could understand that 14.0.6137.5000 is a lter version not sure why this error is occurring. Please help me in this.

Thanks & Regards,
Mathi.

I have found it easier to take a backup of the SQL server database and restore that to a new system instead of using the backup/restore within sharepoint.

Hi Mehdi,

I'm new to sharepoint. So didn't get the point which you have mentioned. If I take the backup and restore the SQL content DB of the original sitecollection and restore the same into new environment will I get as it is like I do the back up and restore of sitecollection through sharepoint ?
Like Lists and workflows will be restored if I just restore the content DB.
Thanks & Regards,
Mathi

Yes, you may need to create a new site first (on a new system) then add the restored content database and remove the one created with the site.

Hi,

Since the version 14.0.4763.1000 is RTM edition(i.e Pre-SP1 pathc) and the version 14.0.6137.5000 is a Post sp1 patch.
I have updated the patch in my server and my server is also having the same version 14.0.6137.5000. Now I took back up with this version from my server and restored in the other.

Thanks & Regards,
Mathi.
