i'm a complete newbie at SQL server 2000. I have been given a project in which i have to work with a database which already exists under the Databases tree on the local server. What i want to do is to create a copy of the same database on the same local server so i can work with the copy and the original database remains as it is. Please tell me how to do this.

Backup that database
Create new Datase
Restore it from the Backup database

See Books On Line(SQL Server help file for more information)
