Does your NAV 2009 is a native db or linked to SQL server. If it is SQL then as mentioned below it will be better to do a backup and restore on a test db. However, if it is a native db then you can used the fbk backup available on nav

Hi,

You can backup through SQL which is faster more than finsql and restore it.

You can take a backup from the NAV itself and restore, since you are using the NAV 2009 version.
