I am attempting to move a course from a Moodle v2.8 server to our new Moodle v3.0 server. We are running on Windows. I get the following error:
Any suggestions on how I can move and restore this course??
Thanks!
In follow up, I turned on debugging and retrieved this information:
Debug info:

Hello Jason, hello everybody,
I have the same error, restoring from the same version to Moodle 3, too... I've found some older messages and bug reports concerning that error when restoring from a 1.xx version to a 2.xx version (this for instance).
Would anybody know what the problem is ?
Jason, have you benn able to solve it ?
Thank you very much for any help!

Hallo again,
In my case, it was apparently a corrupted mbz file.
When I downloaded the backup file again, I saw it had not the same size, and then restoring it worked (even if after that, I had some other trouble, Moodle telling me that a conflict would be created by restoring an admin role - I soppose there is no relation but well I still mention it here).
Best wishes, I hope you can resolve your problem the same way
