SQL Server 2000 need to prevent logons whilst performing a backup for a side by side migration
- by pigeon
I'm looking for a way to prevent logons from occurring in order to take a full backup of a Database to migrate from its current SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2005 instance. A friend of mine suggested running a script which would put the DB into a rollback state. Not being a DBA my DDL is very poor and running a script that I don't understand may not be the best idea.
One option which might be easier is to simply detach and copy, to the new server.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
