By default, when restoring to a different Sybase Server instance, a database is restored to the same location as source server in the destination server.
You can only restore from a lower version of the software, or the same version of software to a higher version, for example, Sybase 15.5. to 15.7.
If you want to restore the Sybase server to a different path, then follow the Restoring Databases to a New Device procedure.
