Can I make a backup on Windows Sever 2008 R2 (or 2008) with Windows Server Backup and restore it on Windows Server 2012 R2 (or 2012) with Windows Server Backup?

    Needs more specificity. specifically, what you're backing up and what you're hoping to restore. – HopelessN00b Mar 10 '15 at 17:03
  • I have in mind restore a single common file (or various common files) and the posibility of restore the whole system. – RdlP Mar 17 '15 at 07:29
  • What about a windows server backup file from Windows server 2008 R2 and restore it to windows server 2012 R2? Would this possible? –  Feb 12 '16 at 20:37

Yes this should be possible. I just tested this by backing up some files on 2008 R2 and restored them on a Server 2012 R2.

I haven't tested a Full server,Bare metal recovery or System state backup but that makes less sense anyways.
