I found a free Moodle course on the net and attempted a restore. It worked and it was built on 2.3 however the ones I am trying to restore came off of the Alberta Moodle Hub and were built on 2.8.
Then when I attempted to unzip both using 7zip I noted that all the courses I downloaded from the Hub generate an error " unexpected end of data ". Both have the extension of mbz.
As previously stated I attempted to unzip of of the backups then rezip using 7zip, followed by changing the extension. However it then generates a "unknown backup format" error.
I am stumped but would like to try any ideas any has...
