restore from AIX to WINDOWS - is this possible?

Hi Folks,
I am trying to restore from AIX DB2 V7.2 to WINDOWS DB2 V7.2
The folder containing all the files is h:\backup and the contents are:
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 01
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 02
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 03
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 04
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 05
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 06
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 07
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 08
mydb.0.db2instp.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031115115343.0 09

I issue the command
restore db mydb from 'h:\\backup' taken at 20031115115343 into mydb

but i get the error
No match for a database image file was found based on the source database
alias "MYDB" and timestamp "2003111511" provided.

Am I doing something daft
(I also tried without the timestamp, but no difference).

Thanks for you help

Restore between different Operating Systems (for example Aix <->
Windows) is not supported.

Jan is correct, however you can restore to the other OS's within the UNIX
group (AIX, Solaris, HP/UX). This does not include Linux.

That can't be done. Your best is to use db2look to rebuild your DDL on
Windows, and then db2move to export/load the data.
