RavenDB Import / Export failing on Server but working on Embedded

Question

I am looking at writing an import / export routine for RavenDB so that I can develop on a full server instance locally but can run embedded on the website due to resource contraints. I want to be able to admin functions in a locked down section of the site to allow for backups and restores from files. But I also want to be able to restore a production data set into a local server instance for debugging and development purposes.

As part of this I have been investigating using v2.5.2750 the ISmugglerApi interface and specifically the Raven.Database.Smuggler.DataDumper and the Raven.Smuggler.SmugglerApi implementations.

I can backup and restore using an Embedded instance fine. I can backup the server instance fine and import this file into the Embedded instance. However restoring into the Server database is where the issue occurs.

The code which I am using is as follows:

Restore code:

        SmugglerOptions smugglerOptions = new SmugglerOptions { BackupPath = Server.MapPath(ServerMapPath) };
        switch (Context)
        {
            case Context.Embedded:
                DataDumper dumper = new DataDumper(((EmbeddableDocumentStore)MvcApplication.Store).DocumentDatabase, smugglerOptions);
                var embeddedImport = dumper.ImportData(smugglerOptions);
                await embeddedImport;
                break;

            case Context.Server:
                var connectionStringOptions = new RavenConnectionStringOptions
                {
                    ApiKey = Configuration.ApiKey,
                    DefaultDatabase = Configuration.DefaultDatabase,
                    Url = Configuration.DefaultUrl
                };

                var smugglerApi = new SmugglerApi(smugglerOptions, connectionStringOptions);
                var serverImport = smugglerApi.ImportData(smugglerOptions);
                await serverImport;
                break;
        }

Backup code:

        SmugglerOptions smugglerOptions = new SmugglerOptions { BackupPath = Server.MapPath(ServerMapPath) };
        switch (Context)
        {
            case Context.Embedded:
                DataDumper dumper = new DataDumper(((EmbeddableDocumentStore)MvcApplication.Store).DocumentDatabase, smugglerOptions);
                var embeddedExport = dumper.ExportData(null, smugglerOptions, false);
                await embeddedExport;
                break;

            case Context.Server:
                var connectionStringOptions = new RavenConnectionStringOptions
                {
                    ApiKey = Configuration.ApiKey,
                    DefaultDatabase = Configuration.DefaultDatabase,
                    Url = Configuration.DefaultUrl
                };

                var smugglerApi = new SmugglerApi(smugglerOptions, connectionStringOptions);
                var serverExport = smugglerApi.ExportData(null, smugglerOptions, false);
                await serverExport;
                break;
        }

ServerMapPath is currently a const string for the name of the file which is in the App_Data folder.

The Configuration.* is a simple static class to read out the values from the web.config for the required settings.

Context is a configuration option to specify the type of environment which this is running in.

When I run the restore into the Server database configuration I get the following:

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
