Yes, this is very helpful. Thanks!

But I understand this isn't the "right" way to recover DTS packages, if you start out with a backup of it?

I am not able to see the link for "Save a DTS Package Locally" in your article. Can you send the link again if it still exists?

If you are copying over a whole instance to a different server, how do you transfer over the DTS packages in msdb? MSDB can't be detached.

Thanks!
