Hi, paws.
My server crashed recently, I didn't give to much importance because I knew that having access to the partitions I could recover my DB files and attach my database to my new server, and everything was fine until ... I found that my DTS Packages and Jobs where not in my Attached DB.
Now, where can I find these ?
Can you help a tormented man ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi frodriguez, Welcome to SQL Team!

Not something I know very well, but to keep you busy until someone who really knows comes along you could look in the MSDB database

Just restore the MSDB database from the last backup you have from the crashed server. MSDB contains the DTS packages.

Note that you will lose any jobs and packages setup in your current MSDB, so you need to save copies of those before you restore the old MSDB backup.

You could restore the MSDB from the old machine to a "temporary database" with a different name, but I don't know whether its possible to then Export / Import from there into the new MSDB - only a problem if you have some stuff on the new machine that you need to preserve, as MVJ points out.

Just thinking out loud ...

Hi
the DTS packages are the part of the server and when you restored the DB you will not get these packages.if you have the MSDB backup try restoring it.i always keep a backup of mY DTS by copying it to another server
