Needed to move user Roaming Profiles from W2K3 FS to W2K8 FS. Used NT Backup utility to back up the profiles on the old server in order to keep correct permission etc only to find that the new Backup utility on W2K8 does not work with old NT utility backups. With a quick Google search found that MS supplies a pared down version of the NT Backup Utility for use on Vista/2008 etc called the "Restore Utility" which only does a restore of backup files.

MS also says that the Removable Storage Manager also needed to be turned on in Server Features for this to work. When I tried to find that feature on my W2K8 server it was not there. So back to Google where I found that this feature is not available on W2K8R2. After another quick Google query I found the solution:

This is kb974674 and provides a version of the restore utility for W2K8R2.
