Installed RG. Rest. test DB. error Failed to read header

We just bought read-gate Backup and installed it on one of our servers. But when testing a restore of a test database (empty new database in SQL2000) after entering the password and clicking on next we get an error message 'Failed to read header'

    Could you pls run the following in Query Analyzer or SQL Server Management Studio and check if there is any output:

    exec master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = [<backup file name>] " '

    Hi Petey

    Thanks allot for your reply.I found out what was the problem. We use passwords with spaces on our servers. I thought i would use the similar passwords to protect the database with. I used a password with no spaces and things work as normal. Really happy with the product :D

    Cheers

    Strange, but you should be able to use a password with spaces in it, to encrypt the backup, and use the same password to perform the restore.
