Use finsql.exe. Create a new DB by connecting to the server. Once created, you can restore a Navision backup in your newly created DB. Once the restore is finished, you have a new working DB.

Browse your product cd for a folder called ‘Doc’. In this folder you will find all installation manuals, including one called ‘w1w1isql.pdf’, which will tell you everything you need to know to install the SQL Server option for NAV.
