    Hi
    I guess you use the internal nav backup. The files are splitted in 2GB chunks, this is normal. Be aware that the directory where the backup is written to / the restore is read from does not contain numbers. Otherwise some fancy errors can occur.
    Hope this helps.

    It means the folder name of backup should not have any numeric characters (Though I have not tested what ta5 says).

    For backup I'm not sure. But when restoring, Navision has problems to find the files Nr.2 and subsequent files, if the folder contains numbers. Seems that the function looking for the next file increases the first integer in the path and file name.
    First file: \\myCustomer1\backup.fbk
    Second file: \\myCustomer2\backup.fbk not found because it should read \\myCustomer1\backup2.fbk

    No problem if the backup files reside in \\myCustomer\..

    Hope this helps
