  Hi,

  I'm testing a SQL server 2012 instance and I'm bringing a lot of SQL server 2005 databases, using backup/restore method, I have tested a few and it works without major problems till now.

  However, I want to restore a lot of them, what script or similar would help me ? I want to leave a script for future reference.

  Thanks a lot for your ideas
