Hi.

Please use the restore command to do the same. It will help you. You might have to use the redirect option and set the tablespace containers path to their new locations if you are using DMS containers.

Please refer to the Data Movement Utilities Guide and Reference for more help.

DB2 backup images on Windows are a little funky... when you select where the backup image is, make sure you point to the top level directory.

Ie: if your backup is something like this:
C:\BLAH\SAMPLE.0\DB2\NODE0000\... etc

Point your RESTORE to C:\BLAH

Not the actual file image.
