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.

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.

|||Hi thanks for the response. I tried RESTORE database 'name' from disk
='c:\filebak' from sql analyzer simular to what you suggested and it worked.
