I am using Tara's script to restore DBs automaticaly. It works for SQL 2000 backups since it is looking for _db in the backup name (mydatabase_db_200811162000.bak). My SQL 2005 servers generate backups with _backup in the file name (mydatabase_backup_200811162000.bak). I have modified the script to work with this.

My question is that does SQL 2000 generate _db by default and SQL 2005 generates _backup? How this can be changed?

Are you referring to a maintenance plan generating a specific backup file name?
