It sounds like the backup may be corrupted, have you tried using RESTORE

[Ask]Getting files from pocket pc emulator to desktop pc

hi...!
I'm creating a small device application using visual studio.NET 2003. Is it possible to get a sql server ce database file (.sdf) that i created at the pocket pc emulator to my desktop pc ?
If that's possible, then can you tell me how to do that ?

thanx b4

Moving this thread to SQL Mobile forum where it has got better chances of being answered.

-Thanks,

Mohit

Yes, you sure can copy this file (e.g. by using file explorer on emulator and network drive on PC). But you can't use it on desktop.

|||Can you tell me what should i do to copy the file, more specifically (step by step) ?
I don't have a plan to use it on desktop, I just want to copy the .sdf file from emulator to desktop, then to the real pocket pc

thanx

Please see this (don't mind it mentions wireless network, work the same way on emulator):
