Are you switching to Windows?
Is VRP.dump the new file name on Windows?
DID you use BINARY mode when transferring the files? (text mode is common mistake)
There should be more information in the backupserver log file.

I have a series of.dump files from the same db (the .dump
files are named as .Dump1of10 .Dump2of10 etc) that was on
solaris running ASE version 12.5.4. I'm trying to restore
these .Dump files on to my ASE dev edition version 15.0.3.
I tried restoring in 2 ways and following are the steps I
took and the error messages I got
Mentod 1: Restoring by right clicking an empty db
Step 1: Created an empty db
Step 2: Right clicked this db and selected restore and then
selected restore the entire database
Step 3:For selecting the dump device, I chose 'Explicit Dump
Device" and specified the path where the .Dump files exist
Note: did not specify any backup name
When I click "Finish" I get the error below
