restore 2005 msdb to sql 2008 instance

  • Does anyone know if it is possible to restore the msdb from a 2005 instance to an 2008 instance. I am trying to avoid redeploying all the SSIS packages one at a time.

  • i do not think it is possible. i know there are some new SPOC in msdb in 2008 that would go missing if you could restore it from 2005.

    you will have to use the 'export' feature of SSIS.

  • I can confirm it is not possible
