Can anybody tell me, how I can do the downgrade without > this parameter being changed? You cannot do the downgrade using a binary backup utility. You are trying to restore a 64 bit archive using 32 bit S/W. You might find some info on doing such a downgrade in the migration notes, but I doubt it. You will need to take an ASCII backup of your data and restore from that. Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
