Restore ACS View DB to Different Server

[Tim Glen]

Hi, 

I have an ACS View DB backup from my Logging server (I'm talking about the View DB, not the config DB). 

I need to restore this View DB Backup to a different server than the backup was taken.   So I go to Monitoring and Reports -> Launch Monitoring and Report Viewer -> Monitoring Configuration -> System Operations -> Data Management -> Restore but in the 'Available Backups to Restore there is no way that I can see to restore a View DB backup that wasn't taken from that server.

Is there any way around this limitation?

Thank you

Tim
