Very Computer

Two days ago, I posted another article.

It was about how to upgrade from version 6.5 to 2000. Gianluca Hotz gave
me answer by pointing to an solution where I don't need to backup the
entire archive.

If I understood everything right, I could build up a new server on a
different machine and replicate there the old 6.5 server on the old
machine ? Is this right ? Where exactly could I get information about
this topic ?

Thank you, I am awaiting hints and replies.

Not sure, but Gianluca will probably chip in here.

Have you looked at using the upgrade wizard?

Hi,

Quote:> Have you looked at using the upgrade wizard?

I haven't yet tested things physically. First I'd like to have clear
info, about what's going on, how I could resume or where errors may
possible. There been so many inquiries about missing upgrades to
sqlserver 2000 ...

Do you know any further hints. (I took already a look in the microsoft
support pages, but didn't find any information in particular)
