Hi All



I have a backup of a database created on a DB2 v8.2 server (Windows). Backup
was created using the command

db2 backup database TOOLSDB to c:\DB2_Migration



The command ran successfully, but I am trying to restore the database to DB
v9.1 server (Windows) using a different name i.e. SMDEV



The command that I ran is



db2 restore database TOOLSDB from c:\DB2_Migration into SMDEV



but I keep getting the error



SQL2542N No match for a database image file was found based on the source

database alias "TOOLSDB" and timestamp "" provided.



I assume that it can't find the database backup file, but even if I
specifically point it to the backup image file (i.e. db2 restore database
TOOLSDB from c:\DB2_Migration\ 073515.001) it still generates the same error




Please could you help or point me in the right direction, I am not sure what
I am doing wrong, I have very little experience in DB2.



Regards,



Daniel
