    I want to take a backup of msdb on server A and restore it to server B. Has anyone done this in SQL Server 2008

    You can simply restore msdb from a backup that you have made as long as no

    one is using it. That really means to just stop the SQL Server Agent

    process and restore the database and then start the Agent back up.

    does it require an update to msdb tables for the server name like SQL Server 2005?

    NO.This will be automatically handled by sql server.
