  • Hai,

    Is it possible to restore a SQL 2K Backup at SQL 7

    I tried it, it is giving error

    any suggestions ?

  • No, but you can use dts to export/import the data.

  • No, I don't think this is possible in that direction. Probably the easiest way is to use DTS or BCP.

  • I wonder if setting the database compatibility level to 70 will work?

    Restore the backup to SQL Server 2000.  Then, within enterprise, select the properties of the database and go to the options tab.  There, you will see the compatibility level.  Set that to 70 and then back up the database to a new file.  Try to restore in 7.0.

    Sorry I can test this.  It's just a theory right now.
