I'm currently on a shared hosting plan which has a SQL Server component to it.

At the moment, I'm on 2000. I have a DTS package that runs locally and does a backup of the remote database and backs that up using sequential file numbering.

I'd like to move to 2005, but I'm not sure quite how to replicate this process. Basically:

- I don't have access to the server as it's shared hosting
- I don't have the credentials for backups and stuff like that
- They only send backups on demand
- They don't perform regular backups on your data
- They won't have the backups saved to my web directory

If I:
- use import/export, which is almost the only thing I know I can use, I can only copy tables and views. I'd like to copy everything (SPs, Functions, ect)

The only thing I can come up with is software that would compare the structure and data and generate T-SQL to copy it over (ie. Apex SQL).

Is this my only hope on SQL 2005?

Sql2k5 doesn't have magic on this, just migrate your dts package over.
