Hi,

I'm new with SAP and I'm having some problems with backup and restore. I'm 
trying to move a db to another computer, but the DBM crashes and the process 
is aborted.

I managed to restore the db from Linux where it was originally created to 
Windows, but I cannot restore the db from Windows to another Windows-box. 
The db has been edited somewhat since it was transfered from Linux, but 
nothing major. Typically adding serial(1) and so on. I've tried restoring 
the db from backups in cold, recovery and warm modes, and none seem to work.

I'm not sure if I have a "valid" db to back up in the first place, as I get 
this message during restore as well as backup operations. However, I also 
get this message trying to backup an newly installed, completely empty db. 
Could it be something with the server that is wrong? Or when I'm configuring 
backup-media? Logs maybe?


Anyway, the errormessage I get is this:

Run-time error ('-21474117851') (80010105)
Method '~' of object '~' failed.


This is a popup-window with the title "DBMDoc", and when I click OK the 
DBManager program exits with no further error messages. I've read the 
documentation but I cannot seem to find anything related to this.


I do not really need the content as much as I need the tables etc, so if I 
somehow can generate a SQL script I can run to re-create the db somewhere 
else without the content it would help a lot, that would buy me some time to 
figure out the complete backup/restore problem. I'm pretty sure I saw 
something like this somewhere in the documentation but I cannot recall 
exactly where?


I'd really appreciate it if someone had any tips on what might be wrong, now 
I'm on the trial-and-error stage and pretty much getting nowhere....  :-)

Nikolai
