sqlserver server : copy 7.0 database to 2005


Pete

Hello,

What is the best way to copy a SQL Server 7.0 database to SQL server 2005.
Currently we backup the 7.0 database, restore it to 2000, backup the database
on 2000, restore it to 2005. Is there a better way to do it? And can it be
automated?

...A little background.. Our production databases are on 7.0 and we are
developing a new system on 2005 backend. We often need to refresh our data,
so we like run the 7.0 to 2005 procedure at least onece a day.

Why don't you just restore the 7.0 backup onto the 2005 server?
