database rename / copy

evanscheers

I tried to restore a copy of our database on a other location/disk on the server.
The database is made of 2 parts.
company_1.fdb and company_2.fdb
I want to use this database in my test environment
under a different service. This is running with a one part older database, I want a fresh copy and use the current database now two parts.
The company_1.fdb is pointing to the original location of company_2.fdb.
Is there a way to change this?
Or do I have to backup and restore, with the Navison backup/restore utility in a new created database.

You have to open the multipart-db first with a Navision client using "fin.exe database=path1\db1.fdb + path2\db2.fdb". After that, you can run a server on that database, because Navision has modified the first database part with the current pathnames.

Thanks, it's working.
I only had to remove the spaces around the '+' character.
