Another Question.
Moving the database contents from old 8.x server to new 9.x server.
Doing Backup/Restore might destroy the 9.x database content/structure/config info on the new server. What is better?
1. Setting up the new server, bring it alive (productive) and then import the old database backup as "restore" into the new database?
2. Setting up the new database standalone (we will install a full SQL server 2008 R2) , then import the old backup, *then* install SS 9.x and connect it to the new database? That could benefit from update procedures along the installation.
Is there any hint what way will work?
