Duplicate Database

I need to make an exact duplicate of a database on the same instance of SQL
Server 2000; seems like it should be easy, but i'm stuck ...
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this ?
TIA

Backup/restore, using the WITH MOVE option to create a new set of data
files.

sounds great ... but I don't see a "WITH MOVE" option in EM or in the T-SQL
docs; is this available on SQL 2000 ?
thanks ...

Yes. It is indeed documented in BOL, RESTORE DATBASE. In EM restore dialog,
you have it in the left
tab, where you can specify the desired physical filename for each file.

Thanks Arnie, Tracy ... got it; didn't realize it was a RESTORE option at
first ..
L|||From Query Analyzer,execute below:-
1. Using Restore filelistonly command identify the logical file names of the
database backup file
RESTORE FILELISTONLY from disk='c:\x.bak'
2. With the output of the above query use RESTORE database
RESTORE DATABASE <newdbname> from disk='c:\backup\x.bak'
WITH move 'logical_mdf_filename' to 'new physical name with path',
move 'logical_ldf_filename' to 'new physical log name with
Path'
Change the database name and file names based on the backup and database
name you have.
Thanks
