Вопрос
I have SharePoint 2013 Enterprise version. It is installed from last 3 years.
Topology as below
- SQL01 (Clustered)
- SQL02 (Clustered)
- FE01 (load balance)
- FE02 (load balance)
- APP01
- APP02
Now I got development server, which is just freshly installed with SQL Server 2012 & Windows 2012 R2. Now I am installing SharePoint 2013 and updating it to match the version of the Production Farm. It will remain single box farm.
Now my question is if I backup Production Version which is multiple server and try restore on Development Server which is single box, will it work or do I have to do something?
Решение
Yes it should work because it's not a matter of how many servers you have, if it's a single farm then you can migrate it to from a multi servers environment to your new single box environment by migrating the content databases.

As you already get the answer but I would like to give my 2 cents. to avoid any unknown issue.
- Install and configure the SharePoint on Dev server( Version should match to prod)
- Create new service accounts and set the permission.
- Create new Web app (s)
- Configure the authentication as in Production
- Apply customization if any i.e Web.config change etc
- configure the Object cache, Blob cache if it is in Prod
- Apply if any farm wide solutions
- create the new service application i.e search, UPA, MMS
Now - Backup Content Database from Prod SQL server - Move the backup to dev sql server and Restore it - Attach the database to web apps - Test
I would not go with the SharePoint central admin backup and restore, as it may cause alot of confusion in naming conventions.
