Today's post is a follow on from one earlier this month Database uplevel Restores. I got round to testing restoring a SQL Server 2000 backup to a SQL Server 2008 R2 server and it worked! Details Below;
-- Restore command
RESTORE DATABASE [SQL2000Test] FROM DISK = 'D:\SQL2000TestBackup.bak'
WITH REPLACE, MOVE 'SQL2000Test_Data' TO 'D:\Test\SQL2000Test_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'SQL2000Test_Log' TO 'D:\Test\SQL2000Test_Log.ldf';
Message Output;
Processed 856 pages for database 'SQL2000Test', file 'SQL2000Test_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'SQL2000Test', file 'SQL2000Test_Log' on file 1.
