Hello,

can you please share a screenshot of the database step during restoration? Can you please tell me how many drivers are available in the Driver select field?

Which one did you use for restoration? Can you please try to use another one?

Thanks for your response. 

I gave up, did a new backup and used that for the restore and all went well. 

As to drivers, I presumably used the default as I amnot aware of having to choose a driver. 

All OK now, thank you,
