Hello

I have got a sql 7 server that needs to be updated to SQL 2000. I am planning to do a straight upgrade from 7 to 2000. I realise that if the upgrade fails I will need to do a complete reinstall of 7 and then restore the databases.

If I simply restore ALL the databases (including msdb, master) will the server have all the objects (dts,SQL agent jobs) it had before.

I do not want to have to manully recreate objects as I do not know the databases or what the different dts packages and jobs do.

thanks
Simon

Since the dts packages and sql agent jobs are stored in MSDB, restoring that database will restore those objects.
