  Hi,

  I have to transfer the database from one hard drive (secondary) to another hard drive (primary) on the same machine. There is nothing in the primary database. I just installed sql server 2000 on it. Is it enough if I do a 'database backup' from the secondary database and do a 'restore database' in the primary database?

  Do I have to worry about the system databases, like master, msdb etc? Will the user and login information will be transfered? Can I transfer sql server agent jobs?

  Thanks.
