SQL Server Movement

  • I have a SQL Server2005 SP2 'A'.Due to performance issues i want to move/replicate the same to Second Server 'B'.

    How can i move the stystem databases?

    Can i restore master DB directly to new one?//How do i change the name 'A' which is stored in master DB A while i restore it to B.

    Thanks,

    Arun

  • You don't want to move system databases from one server to another. You may want to move data from the system databases on one server to the other server, but if you copy the system databases from one to the other, you're more likely to break something than not.

    What makes you want to move system databases? Is there something specific that you need replicated on B that's on A?
