Could someone please help me with a problem I'm having porting a unify 
database to a different hardware platform.  Here is the scenario:

1.  Existing file.db is on two raw partitions of 65 meg each
2.  I need to put file.db on a single raw partition on new system
3.  I tried backup and restore unify utitlities (BUDB and REDB) but
    the backup program apparently backs up the unify.db first including
    volume information.
4.  When I go to restore on target system, it restores unify.db first and
    attempts to restore to old partition names.  I really don't want or need
    two volumes for this database.

My question is this

1.	Can I dd file.db onto a cartridge tape and dd onto the new single
	raw partition on target system.

2.	Can I then restore unify.db from a cpio backup, modify volume 
	maintenance and tell set it to a single volume db.

3.	Do I have to modify anything in the file.db header to tell
	it there is only one volume.  If so, is there a UNIFY utility
	that will do this for me.

By the way, I'm running UNIFY 4.0


Any help would be greatly appreciated
