We've been given a SP2010 backup (.bak) file to restore. At this time I don't know if it contains a site collection or a site or a farm, or how it was generated, and have no way to find out (just don't ask...).

Using PowerShell, I tried

Restore-SPSite -path foo.bak -identity http://example.com -force

but I'm getting the following error:

Restore-SPSite : 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 '14.0.0.7105' or later.

My PowerShell reports that I am at version 14.0.6029.1000, which, if I'm correct is 2010 SP1.

I tried looking around (here) but I just can't find out what this weird version number corresponds to. Is there any way I can find out what SP version does this correspond to?

Additionally, I have no access to the server where the backup is generated, so I can't just do something there and regenerate the backup.

Any help appreciated!

7105 is the build number.

If you run Fiddler and check your current SharePoint farm, you will find in the header of your request "MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices: 14.0.0.6029"

In order to restore your backup, you need a farm that is beyond build 7105 (e.g. build 7106 - August 2013 CU which was released after SP2).
