msdb recovery on sql 2005

Hi

I have a backup of msdb on sql 2005 version 9.00.2047

I need to use this backup to restore msdb on the same machine.

But the version has been upgraded to 9.00.2153

All of my attempts end up with the same messages

"...cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server..."

Thanks.

You are going to have to find an install of version 9.00.2047, restore the msdb database, upgrade the instance to 9.00.2153, backup the msdb database again, and then use that backup to restore to the instance that you want.

There is a reason that every hotfix and service pack has an explicit warning message that you must backup system databases immediately after applying the service pack or hotfix. You can not restore a system database across hotfix or service pack versions.

|||Thanks it worked as you said.
