Accessing WHS11 Server Backup Drive

Question
0

Sign in to vote

I recently switched my home server from WHS11 to WSE 2012R2. Now I need to find some old files on a WHS11 server backup drive that I have stored offsite. Is it possible to access that drive and restore files without have a WHS11 server? This is a bit of an emergency and I would appreciate any advice.

WHS2011 is based on Server 2008 R2 and uses the same backup engine as Server 2012. Follow the instructions here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772028.aspx
