restore NAV Backup Error

generic

I have a full nav fbk backup that has two companies in it.

When I uncheck one company so that I can restore only one, I get an error during restoration.

The error is Company BLAH doesn't exists.


BLAH is the company I unchecked from the restoration.

Any idea on what object would cause this?

I am guessing, At the start of restoration system would have asked u to restore security tables and u would have said yes. Try next time with no. I got this and i got rid by selecting other way round next time. This is just a wild guess.

You get the question if you already have a permission setup.

This is a blank database, so you don't get the question asked.

Hi

What version of Navision?
5Sp1 (i don't remember which Build, i think the last released production version) show this error.
Try 5.0 and then convert it to 5sp1 or download the last hotfix.

Bye

It is indeed a bug ( :bug: ) in the restore process for that NAV version.

If you create the company first in your database, you can restore the fbk-file. You can delete the company afterwards as it just needs to be there to complete the restore process.

There is a fix for this bug. If you download the latest programbuild for the client it'll work.

I'll had this problem also with 5.0.

It works if first the application objects and data for all companies are restored (first step) and then the company/companies in a second step.
