| hi there,I need to extract the data of our live server (SQL 2008) to a local server (SQL 2000) whereas both are on different network, though i can access the live server from local network's machine. as far as i know one cannot restore a backup of newer version of SS to an old one .. e.g. from 2008 to 2000. is it so?Please suggest how can I extract and dump the data from live to local server? if possible please explain with an example? Many thanks! MIK |

| You can use the Export/Import Data Wizard. You can write an SSIS package. You can BCP the data out, and Bulk Insert it in. |

| You're going to have to do it for every table (and every other object you want to migrate as well)If you use the export/import wizard, you can simply tick every box.Be aware, that none of these options will copy the indexes, stored procedures, UDFs, users etc.You can also setup snapshot replication with the 2000 box as the subscriber.I would probably just script out all of the objects, apply the scripts at the 2000 box and use BCP to move the data. |
