| Hi Scott
You may want to check for any data protection issues before you try anything.
Have you tried connecting directly to the instance using the credentials for
the linked server? If you aren't wanting to do a full backup/restore you may
want to set up replication or log shipping to a separate databases and then
transfer the data from that to the other system.
