Moving SQL content databases 1

[skimmingtonr]

Hi
I have a SharePoint 2003 server which is pointing to a clustered but eval copy of SQL server. I want to move the databases to a non clustered but full license copy of SQL running on a new server. Is it just a case of backing up the SQL databases, restoring them to the new server and then disconnect and reconnect the databases in SharePoint Administration to the new SQL server or am I being too simplistic?

thanks
Mike

go to the chapter about backup & restore. read it.

basically said, disconnect your databases, do a restore, connect them again, done

success
