      You can't simply back up and restore as you would going the other way, so you are going to have to script the schema across and then write a script to transfer the data. Red-Gate have tool that we use to do this job (usually between UAT and production, never 2008 => 2005) [edit] Red-Gate are not free or cheap and it may not be worth it for a one off job [/edit]

      Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

          I think you posted this reply to the wrong person, although from the titles I did not know you could use backup/restore, interesting.
