I am trying t restore a Navision Database Server Backup (V4 SP1)
Into a clean Native database V4SP1.

I am restoring both data and objects for all companies (there is only one company)
The restore starts without any problem however as soon as the progress bars reach 100% the restore crashes out with the following error..

File xxxxx.fbk was not found

When I gointo the database nothing has been restored and the file does exist as this is the file I used for the restore!!

I am doing this in preparation for an upgrade to V5SP1 SQL upgrade.

Please help!!

    Probably you have big database and Fbk file has more than 2GB.
    If backup has more than 2 GB there is more than one *.Fbk file. You must find rest of fbk's files and copy to the same location when restoring.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The database is very big, 18GB. The fbk is 2.5 GB, I did not know that Navision creates more than one FBK. There is only one in the location where I created the backup.
    How are they split up?

    i don't remember name of file exactly, but second file must be in the same location where you put backup. Maybe this is *.fb1 or something like that. Sort by size and you should find it.

    NAV puts a number at the end of the file when it needs to split the backup file. If you know that your backup is going to be more than 1 file, then give the filename a number 1 at the end, for instance "20080811 Backup-01.fbk". NAV will aotumatically create the second file as "20080811 Backup-02.fbk"

    You're saying though that your backup file is 2.5 GB, so that is a SQL Server backup file?
