How to restore a SharePoint 2007 backup on a SharePoint 2010 server

I have a backup of site that I created in SharePoint 2007 and I need to restore it in SharePoint 2010, but I already have my SharePoint 2010 instance up and running. Is there a way to do the restore to SharePoint 2010?

Answer 1

It depends on what type of backup you have.

-If you have a sharepoint backup the answer is no. You need to restore it to SharePoint 2007 and then migrate it. - If you have a database backup of the content database, then you could follow the steps given by sahil here

Answer 2

Make sure your SharePoint 2007 was fully patched before making database backups. Follow this guide for Database attach upgrade method: Attach databases and upgrade to SharePoint Server 2010.
