Backup_Migrate Module able to Create Backups but NOT Restore them

Question

• Using Drupal 7.37, Omega4-SubTheme
• Acquia Dev-Desktop Stack (Development)
• Windows 7 HP
• Using Backup_Migrate-3.1.

1. I set up my Backup and Migrate settings to back up my entire website-code and the corresponding Database.
2. This is set to copy the Backup to a subfolder in my C:\ Folder directory.
3. Back up and Migrate saves the Backups fine and I can see them when I navigate to my Backup-Folder.
4. They are saved as Zipped-Files.
5. If I try to restore using one of my Backups, I get an error (next item).
6. Exception: Unable to create directory 'C:\Drupal-Temporary/backup_migrate_556bb93614fe3/docroot/C:' in Archive_Tar->_error() (line 635 of C:\Users\Chandra Swa\Sites\drupal-7\modules\system\system.tar.inc).
7. There appears to be some problem in reading a "Temporary" directory, not my actual saved Backup directory.
8. What is causing this error; what does it even mean; is there a fix?

Thank you for your time to read this. I have tried to be as thorough as possible.

Please try with the Patch mentioned on following URL: https://www.drupal.org/node/2320969#comment-9564267

Patch for make full site restore (and full site backup) work on Windows. The main problem was in assumption that directory separator is always '/' but that's not true on Win. So wherever i've found '/' in operation on paths i've changed them to DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant.

Thanks!
