Our DB crashed and we are on another machine, the database(s) are there, but the Nightly jobs are not. How could i retrieve those? I have all of the data from the old sql box.
Thanks

Agent Jobs are stored in msdb - you could try restoring that database to the new system.

you can also restore a copy of the database and pull the jobs out of it. and then put them into the new sytem.

Or create a quick VM, restore MSDB to a SQL instance there and then script out the jobs.
I'd keep a VM around for stuff like this, install Windows, SQL, then shut it down, mark it read only, and copy the files when you need a quick test system.
