I have SQL Server 2008 on a server and SQL 2005 on my other servers. I have attempted to encrypt a database on the SQL 2008 machine but the documentation says to do a backup and a restore to another machine to test the encryption. I cannot do a restore to the other machines because of the different versions. Any help on how to test my encryption would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

How about you install SQL Server 2008 on a test system so that you have a valid test?
