New WHS - copy old backups across?

Question
-
Hi all
I've recently moved my WHS from an old dektop to a spare server I have. It's all up and running and backing up as I need it to.
However, there are a couple of backups on the old WHS that I'd like to keep. Is there some way of copying them to the new WHS?
Thanks
Alex

A number of free programs will work. Richcopy, robocopy, synctoy. I'm using richcopy to move data between a WHS server and a WHS Vail server.

There's no way to copy an individual backup. You can use the Backup DataBase Backup (BDBB) add-in to copy your entire backup database to external storage, then load it onto your new server, however.
I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)- Proposed as answer by kariya21Moderator Sunday, May 16, 2010 5:42 PM
