Hi All

I need to copy the database from one server to another server. I know we can detach and then attach the database or by Backup/Restore or DTS. But the source data base server having one sortorder and I want the destination different.

I want to do in the following way, please correct me if I am wrong

1) Take complete backup

2) Copy the data files and log files to some other server

3) Install the destination server with the same sort order as
source server

4) Now restore the database

5) Change the sort order to required one by SP_configre option

6) Take care about the logins and their passwords
