Thanks for the fast response Vince.

I am hoping to be be able to use the '{UserDBs}' option to create new databases from final backups so i think I used

USE master

EXEC sp_ABRestoreDb '{UserDbs}

With the relevant database backup files myDatabase.bak already in the default backup folder

ie \\SLQSERVER\e$\Databases\MSSQL\BACKUP\myDatabase_db.BAK

This did not work for the imported .bak files but did for one db that I had already backed up.

I have just used with some success

EXEC sp_ABRestoreDb 'myDatabase', '\\remoteserver\backups\Databases\myDatabase\mydatabase_db_*'

but this would be a real pain to do for our 60+ databases(yes I did say 60).

Apart from and issue regarding the logins which I hope to fix by using sp_help_revlogin before the restores take place.

Apoligies if this is unclear - my head is spinning.

Thanks

Paul
