Hello, backups are platform dependent means that the only safe and suggested way for using a backup is restoring it on the same OS/hardware platform.
Everything else may or may not work, although chances are 'better' if the architecture is very similar as Linux and Windows due to the fact they run both on PC hardware. But you are on your own when you try such a thing. For moving a database between different platforms, the MaxDB Loader is the tool of choice.
