uvrestore to a new account

Hi Folks, newbie here.

I have a UV account that I've backed up using uvbackup.  I want to restore that account under a different account name.  I'm not seeing any options on the uvrestore utility to do that.  I definitely don't want to overwrite the existing production account with what I backed up previously, just set up a duplicate (although outdated) test  account.  Does anyone have any pointers to restore, say, the ACCT as TEST_ACCT using the backup file I created as shown below?

Backed up using:   D:\\U2\\UV\\bin\\uvbackup.exe -f -v -nodrive -walk D:\\dbms\\DATA1\\ACCT > D:\\UVBACKUP\\UVBACKUP_ACCT.UBK

hi mike,

uvbackup/uvrestore do not work with 'account' but with path.
to restore to another 'account' use -F and set a new path like this : 

1/ use uvrestore -i file.uvb 
note the 'path' of the account 
2/ use uvrestore -F /origpath/=/newpath/ file.uvb
sample : uvrestore -v -F /ibm/universe/myaccount/=/data/uvdb/mynewaccount/ /tmp/file.uvb

I hope this help

Another option is to backup the account with a relative path as opposed to an absolute path. Then you could perform the restore in a different folder without overwriting the original account.

c:\\U2>cd c:\\u2\\accounts

c:\\U2\\accounts>uvbackup -f -v -walk TESTACCT > testacct.uvb

Thank you Manu & Neil.  I did overlook the -F option, but opted to go with relative path that I can restore where I choose and copy it wherever need be then.  I appreciate your quick responses.  I was able to test everything and works great!
