Hi,

I am having a problem with my custom Log Shipping from a sql 7 to a sql 2000 box. SQL Server will not let me restore the database with the "NORECOVERY" option so I can apply transaction logs to it. I guess it needs to convert the database to a sql 2000 DB.

1. Any suggestions on how I can do log shipping between the 2 servers?

2. Can I just install SQL 7 on the SQL 2000 box (have both versions running)?

Thanks for you help!

You can install bot on 1 machine (7.0 has to be the default instance). I'm not sure how that helps you though.

Why are you log shipping from SQL Server 7.0 to 2000? And yes it will upgrade it from 7.0 to 2000 upon restore.
