Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.5050' or later

SharePoint Restore Error: Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.5050' or later.
I had needed to move my dev environment from one Virtual machine to another. So I took backup from source server and tried to restore the backup in new server. However, I have got the error “Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '14.0.0.5050' or later.” I was totally confused as I had the same version of SharePoint in both server. Then I double checked the version and it was 14.0.4762.1000 for both servers.

Getting confused I googled and found that solution. This is a bug which is fixed by SharePoint 2010 August cumulative update. The updates are available in the following link:

For SharePoint Foundation http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2266423
For SharePoint Server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276339


After installing the updated the error gone…

very good alternate to RunWithElevatedPrivileges

Scenario:
You might want to impersonate a specific WSS user identity before creating a new object so that WSS user is recognized as the owner of the new object.
In order to impersonate a WSS user identity, you must first create an SPUserToken object. You can do this by accessing the UserToken property of an SPUser object. Once you have the SPUserToken object, you can use it to create a new SPSite object using an overloaded version of the SPSite class constructor.

Solution:
This is a very good alternate to RunWithElevatedPrivileges.

Code:
1. SPWeb siteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
2. SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web;
3.
4. // get SPUser object and acquire token
5. SPUser targetUser = site.SiteUsers[@"LITWAREINC\BrianC"];
6. SPUserToken token = targetUser.UserToken;
7.
8. // create new SPSite and SPWeb object to impersonate user
9. using (SPSite impersonatedSiteCollection =
10. new SPSite(siteCollection.ID, token)) {
11. using (SPWeb impersonatedSite =
12. impersonatedSiteCollection.OpenWeb(site.ID)) {
13. // WSS identity switched to impersonate BrianC
14. // Windows identity does not change
15. }
16. }
