what command did you enter (please include all parameters used)? What is the value of the BCK001 environment variable? What database do you expect to your restore to go to - it looks like you didn’t specify a target database, so it is assuming dbid=1, which didn’t exist? ---

I don’t have much experience with the latest ADABAS CE, but I think you need --mount to tell Docker where your backup file is located within the filesystem. ---

I think the problem is that the backup file can not be found inside your docker container (already mentioned by @Ralph_Zbrog). I guess `/home/fazenda/backup219.29112019` is a path on your host machine and not inside your docker container. So I think you need to mount (`-v /home/fazenda:/backups`) the directory containing your backup file in your docker container and reference the backup file path from there (`/backups/backup219.29112019`): ```auto docker run -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -e ADA_RESTORE_BCK=/backups/backup219.29112019 -v /home/fazenda:/backups --name adabas-db softwareag/adabas-ce:7.1.1 ``` If the database ID of your backup is not 1 but 123, then should also add ` -e ADADBID=123` to the docker command above otherwise you might see an error message in the docker output indicating the required database ID: `%ADABCK-E-DBIDMM, DBID mismatch: present XXX`. ---

What permissions has the file `/home/fazenda/backup219.29112019`? `ls -l /home/fazenda/backup219.29112019` The user running Adabas utilities within the docker container needs permission to read your backup file.

You can try the following. Running a ‘usual’ configuration without backup file should work: `docker run -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -e ADADBID=123 -e ADA_DB_CREATION=demodb -v /home/fazenda:/backups --name adabas-db softwareag/adabas-ce:7.1.1` When the container has started successfully you can run the following command in a separate host shell to start a shell within the docker container: `docker exec -it adabas-db bash` In this docker shell list the content of ‘/backups’: `ls -al /backups/` Does this work? ---
