Author Error duing backup from Query Analyzer

I wanted to take a backup of the Sql Server 2000 database
and restore in Sql Server 7.

I changed the db compatability level to 7 by executing the
stored procedure

sp_dbcmptlevel 'slxtest03', 70

success.

Now when I try to run the backup command - I get the
following errors.

Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'd:\temp\backuptest01.bak'.
Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error
log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Backup command - I used is as following

BACKUP DATABASE slxtest03 TO DISK
= 'd:\temp\backuptest01.bak'

Please let me know, if any knows the answers. I donot find
documentation for 3201 error.

Thank you

Regardless of the compatability level of the database,
you cannot restore a SQL 2000 database to SQL7,
their on disk structures are different.You can use DTS
or bcp to move the data back to SQL7.
