Windows Server 2003R2 w/ Sp2
SQL 2005 w/ Sp2

Created weekly (full backup) and a daily (differential backup) Maintenance Plans using the wizard. I formatted the server, installed the OS and SQL. Restored the full backup (No Recovery Mode), then restored the differential backup (Recovery Mode), tested and all worked well.

Then I noticed the original Maintenace Plans I created (Full and Differential) were gone; makes sense as I had formatted the server.

Is there a way to create a Maintenance Plan file or script that I can save and just add back to the server??

Hope that makes sense.
Any help appreciated.

Can you elaborate on "script it"?

You can create Maintenance plan in SSIS (BIDS) . Save the package to safe location and redeploy it to server whenever you need.
