I was preforming a backup and restore in MOSS 2007. When doing this, i got the following error message:
Your backup is from a different version of Windows SharePoint Services and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version X
It turns out the script I was using had a bug in it. If i did it through the command line, i had no issues. So, in fact the versioning or hotfixes applied to the machines had no effect on the restore operation.
