In the restore program it wants a "primary GDB" this would lead me to
believe that you could do collections of GDBs. Is this true? I need to have
many different possible GDBs and have it seemless to the end user.

Am I interpreting the "primary GDB" statement incorrectly or can you have
collections?

A primary gdb is the 1st file in a "mutlti-file" database.  This is a
single database but with mulitple files.  You create 2ndary file via ISQL
(see help).  Main reason for this is if you have small hard drives on a
server and you run into space problems.

Yes, you can have multiple databases but a multi-file database is not that.
