The backup was thru the Gui. We used full backup and took all the defaults.

Restore is :

RESTORE DATABASE ARSystem FROM DISK='C:\REMEDY-DB\ARSystem_db_200702022300.BAK'

WITH MOVE 'ARSystem' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\ARSystem.mdf',

MOVE 'ARSystem_log' to...

Thanks again MohammedU.

I did do a full backup with no errors.

I got the error "..is incorrectly formatted. Backups cannot be appended, but existing backup sets may still be usable."" ...

Thanks very much Veteran and MohammedU.

Why do you think the backup was no good? I didn't receive any errors on it.

My problem is with the restore.
