  • What versions of SQL Server? What kind of environment (clustered, replication)?

    A little more information might be helpful.

    A little more information might be helpful.

    And is it complete server migration? or just few databases? how big those databases are?

    EnjoY!

  • John Paul, please don't duplicate post

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic883258-5-1.aspx#bm883447

    now we don't know whether this is SQL 2000 or 2005?

    or are you doing one of each?

    Backup and restore would be my first inclination for users databases. However, if they are moving from SQL 2K to SQL 2K8, there are some other nuances to be addressed (dts, ssis, jobs) that would be different.

    Even if I was moving between 2K & 2K8, I'd do a backup and restore, but, as you say, stuff before and stuff after. Without knowing what's really desired here, it's all just guess work.

    It's the stuff before and after that has me concerned. Thus agreed, that it is a bunch of guesswork until the Op returns with more info.
