Re: HElp about copying...

stop the database:

proshut /path/to/db/<dbname> -by

and copy the database form one PC to the other.

or
make an online backup:

probkup online /path/to/db/<dbname> path/to/backup/<backupname>

verify backup:

prorest /path/to/db/<dbname> path/to/backup/<backupname> -vp

copy the database to your pc

restore db at your pc:

prorest /path/to/db/<dbname> path/to/backup/<backupname>

start the database with proserve or adminserver.

Second read up in the db administration guide.... (this should be first )
