  • There is nothing built-in to do this. However this wonderful (sorry for the self agrandizing) tool can help:

  • Are they all stored in MSDB or the file system?

    Also, I am curious why stay with SQL 2000?

  • Besides Elliotts slick tool, you can do this easily from msdb database to msdb database via sql script and a dts transfer.

    Here would be the first part of that method.

    SELECT T1.* FROM dbo.sysdtspackages AS T1

    INNER JOIN (SELECT [name], [id], MAX([createdate]) AS [createdate]

    FROM dbo.sysdtspackages GROUP BY [name], [id]) AS T2

    ON T1.[id] = T2.[id] AND T1.[createdate] = T2.[createdate]

    And here would be the final insert sample:

    Insert into sysdtspackages (name,id,versionid,description,categoryid,createdate,owner,packagedata,owner_sid,packagetype)

    Select name,id,versionid,description,categoryid,createdate,owner,packagedata,owner_sid,packagetype

    From DTSPackageTransfer

    Where Description <> ''

    And now, off to write a blog about it

  • I never used the EW's slick tool but I have used DTS Backup.

    Why are you creating a new SQL Server 2000 machine?

    As was suggested you might want to consider upgrading.
