problem copying database to new server!

I am trying to copy a
dbase from one server to another so first created a backup file from source
server,then copied it to destination server. Then created an empty dbase
with same
name on destination server, then selected backup and created a backup file
dbase.bak. I then replaced the backup
file on the destination server with the one from the source server and tried
to restore
from that file. I get the following error, can not find file id 3 on device
c:\program files\...Backup\dbase.bak
thanks.

Software engineer.Your problem is that the original file destination of the database is
stored in the backup file. SO it can be that the stored destination
folder isn=B4t present in your restore system. With specifying a new
restore destination while issueing the command (via GUI or via TSQL
[RESTORE DATABASE]) that should do the trick.

='c:\filebak' from sql analyzer simular to what you suggested and it worked.
