That still results in the same error. I even went so far as to create a new database,
use DTS to transfer all objects and data, create a backup with the same name, replace
that back up with the backup from the source and I still got an error saying it's a
different database. If I select "force restore over existing database" I get the "with
move" error. When I examine the path that you mentioned it points to the correct drive.
Others have mentioned using DTS. Are there any pitfalls to this? I'm glad I'm not in a
crisis recovery situation.
