Hello Andrea, reinstall your new database with DBMGUI and select in the step "Installation Mode" the option "For Restore", after the Database Wizard finished work, do not restart the database, but recover the backup with DBMGUI.

What I did is: * a complete backup, either in warm (+ migrate settings) or cold state (tried both); * moved the backup onto another PC with sapb 7.3 and an empty copy of the database (I just run a modified version of the TST creation script); * did a restore from dbmgui, which went fine, and then restarted the database. After restart, I got the following error: sql_error[db_warm -f]; -8003, Message not available I've looked at some script files for linux and did some tests, and discovered that if I run the following script, which clears the log, before trying to restore everything goes fine, and after the restart the database is ready to be used... script: dbmcli -d <dbname> -u dbm,dbm db_cold util_connect dbm,dbm util_execute clear lor exit Well, it would be nice not to have to do this step, since it's not me to use the backup/restore system, but one of my clients, that's not a computer expert (the less the steps, the less problematic is the procedure...)
