copying data folder to another instance

How do I copy the data from one instance of an MSDE to another? What I need
to do is write the structure, data, etc on a CD so I can copy this back on
my server instance at home and work on it.
Thanks for the information.

|||Norman,
I primarily progam and I really am not a DB Admin. I understand the
concepts of Attach/Detach but I have never practically used it. How would I
get into the database to do that? Is the Backup/Restore the Backup that is
used through Windows?
I know I can get into it with OSQL, right? When I do try this opening a
command window, typing OSQL -U sa, then the sa password, I get the following
error:
[Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
[Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect())
Thanks for the information.

In doing some research I changed OSQL -U to OSQL -E -S <server\instance> and
it worked.
I am now using BACKUP and RESTORE.
Thanks for the information.

RESTORE is using the InstanceName from the Backup and I am trying to retore
to a different MSDE instance name on a different server. It gives me error
messages.
Did I do something wrong with the restore statement?

|||Posting the error message would help, but you're probably trying to restore
a database whose physical location does not exists on the destination
computer. Look at the WITH MOVE qualifier of the RESTORE command. This will
allow you to the logical database files to a different physical location
than where they originated from. Another solution is to make the location
for the database files the same on all systems.

Thanks for the information. This is the error message that I get:
File 'CLASSICSQL' cannot be restored to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL$UKCSQL\Data\CLASSICSQL.mdf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid
location for the file.
The syntax I am using is "RESTORE DATABASE ced FROM DISK =
'D:\MSDEBack\CES.bak' "
This is when I get the error. What is the syntax using the WITH MOVE? or
where would I find this information?
Thanks,
Brad

Got it. Using osql for the first time and making sure there are not any
syntax errors is a pain.
Thanks again,

WITH

MOVE Logical_File_Name_for_Log to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

or the alike, specifying the logical file names and the destination physical
position you want the files to be restored to..
