| i need help moving a database to a new server.I have an existing database on a Windows XP Pro box running MS SQL Server Desktop Engine 8.00.I want to move this database to another machine running Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server w/full SQL Server (new edition).I can see the database, and the directory structures are almost identical on both machines. But when I simply copy the data over nothing works. Obviously to me I must somehow back up the original database and restore it somehow on the new machine.Any tips on where I begin? I have done searches in the Microsoft Knowledgebase for articles on how to backup and restore from one type SQL to another with frustrating results. No clear directions.Thanks! |
