Please Any Help... Thanks in Advance

Hi AhmedShbhy, Do you have some custom Sharepoint Solution (.wsp) deploy on the farm you took the backup ? If the answer is yes, you should deploy them on the farm you attemp to restore the site. Hope that help, MarioMon Blog/My Blog (in french) LinkedIn

Thanks Mario for your reply,i don't have Sharepoint Solution i just have document Library has many of files and as i mentioned before i use WSS so i have limitation on the large size so i need to back the whole site from win_server 2008 to win_server 2003.

Okay, When you say "it doesn't work" could you give us more information about the error ? Is it the import command that fails or the error happens when you browse the site ? Do you have an error in the event log or in ULS log ? MarioMon Blog/My Blog (in french) LinkedIn
