DTS & MSDB

  • If I backup and restore the MSDB database will it restore the DTS packages also.

  • Yes it should. However, for the future I would save them to .dts files and use some version control software to manage development.

  • If you have custom DTS tasks, the backup and restore will affect the package definition, but will of course not include the custom DLL files. Restoring an old MSDB backup could result in a mis-match between the package definition and the DLLs.
