Hi there, looking for some help. will try and setup my question as straightforward as possible!
I have sharepoint 2010 foundation running on a domained, windows 2008 standard R2 SP1 server.
Have taken a full farm backup, and it along with others is visable in the backup directory folder i created, when i go to "CA/Backup and Restore/Restore from backup"
Running a virtual machine on my own pc, with the exact same windows 2008 standard R2 SP1, and sharepoint foundation version.
I have copied the backup file from the sharepoint server, to my virtual machine, however when i go to the restore from backup function, and select the directory with my backup, i get a message saying the directory is empty and there are no backups.
The other thing to add is the virtual machine is not domained, would this be the reason why i cant see the backups.
Many thanks for any assistance.
