Is it possible to restore a backup from SQL 2005 to a SQL 2000 server?

Nope. This has been asked here about six times in the past 2 weeks,
search around and you'll find some alternative suggestions.
Backup/restore is not possible.

Hi,

Due to architectual differences you can not restore a database backup from
higher version to Lower version [SQL 2005 to SQL 2000] . But it is always
possible to restore the
SQL Server 2000 backup to SQL Server 2005 server. Only solution is to create
the database manually, create objects and use SSIS/DTS/BCP to transfer the
data.

Thanks
Hari
