    Garry is correct that you can't import a backup of the backup database from a V1 server to a 2011 server, but it's because of changes to the database format, not because of the use of vhds. Those are used, but only for backing up the server.

    There is a FAQ (in the FAQ section of the forum) which explains ways to archive single backups out of your old backup database.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
