Hi,

you probalby want to issue a restore-command with a gdb-file, whihc is not
possible.
On the machine, where your original server with the original database is,
issue the firts command helen gave you, move the gbk to the other machine
(linux) and issue the second command helen gave you.
The error you get comes up, when you want to restore a file which is not
available (wrong filename or no file).

CU,
