| I have backup of database which was in SQL Server 7. Now I want to restore it to SQL Server 2000. What I may do? When I restore it it gives me errorError 3038: The filename '\db_1' is invalid as a backup device name. Reissue the BACKUP statement with a valid filename.RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally. |
