Question : how can we duplicate a MS SQL Database on the SAME server and give it a new name?

Ok here is the situation.  We have built database X and we have the database on our MS SQL 2005 Express server.  We now want to build database Y and make it an exact clone of database X, but have a different name.  So database Y needs to have the exact same tables, stored procedures, indexes, keys AND data as database X.

How can we do this?  

We have already tried:  backing up the first database and renaming the backup file and then restoring it as a new database.  

Didn't work.  We've also tried exporting out database X as a .SQL script file.  This recreated the database structure, but we lost all data and keys.

We also tried detaching the first database and re-attaching it as something else.  Didn't work.

We'd appreciate any advice.  Please keep in mind that we only have the free (express) version of manager, so please don't recommend something that requires an advanced ($$) version.

Thanks,
Jeff

The backup should work fine, but the WITH MOVE should have the logical name like 'BOMA_Data' or 'BOMA_Log'.  Whatever is in the sp_helpdb 'BOMA' results.  It will list the logical filenames and you would use those.

OR
You could use the
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK='c:\Bomacopy.bak'
and see the logical filenames you would use in the restore.  

You are close, if you resolve the logical filenames then it will complete.
