Hi,
I've got a question that is asked of me in a course I am studying, and I can't figure it out.
I've backed up a folder from a client to a network share on a file server ( Server 2016 ). I am asked to restore this to the file server. How do I do this?
So far I have tried using the Recover option in Windows Server Backup, but when I specify the shared folder it gives me "The specified remote shared folder does not contain any backup". I am guessing this is because it is not a Server backup, but a Windows 10 backup.
What is a reasonable method to do this restore?
It seems like an odd question, but I think there must be a way or I would not be asked to perform the task.

What tool did you use to backup "a folder from client" ?
I backed up with the Windows 10 Backup tool. I can't use Windows Server Backup to backup a client as far as I am aware. If its possible, I need to stick to built in windows tools with this task.
