Restore the database, just like you would in any other case, so far as I know.

Nothing much really..

You do have some post-requisites that you need to follow once after restoring to SQL 2005...

You can go ahead and restore it to the SQL 2005

Rebuild index and Update stats

From a previous forum post on the same question (by another individual), but my answer to that question at:http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic786999-149-1.aspx

I strongly suggest that you use Books On Line starting with:
Backward Compatibility
ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/instsql9/html/4760732b-aa3c-4f07-96ec-ba920476dd69.htm
Reading each subject listed on that page, paying particular attention to the fact that your can not utilize many of the features of 2005 without altering the compatibility level of what was your SQL 2000 db. Further strongly suggest doing this in a test environment, NOT in a production environment. When you fully understand and have corrected any problems encountered consider moving to production.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

One thing you will probably want to do after the upgrade is to run DBCC CHECKDB WITH DATA_PURITY.

Micrososoft has an Upgrade Advisor that will check your 2000 database to see if it has any deprecated code, so you can fix it before there are errors in 2005 database. I'd strongly suggest running that first. After that, as everyone else has said, run the restore, change the compatibility setting. I'd suggest updating statistics too.

I know it sounds silly, but if your database is for a 3rd party application, check support for it. We have a database we're migrating from 2000 to 2005 but the documentation from the company that provided it says to make sure it stays in compatibility mode 80 (i.e. stay in 2000 mode) which I do not understand, but that's something you need to be aware of as well.
