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 ...

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
