Hi, It is possible. I have tried this scenario on another machine.
It gets restored. Let put my problem in right words… "The backed up database has on-disk structure version 587. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or update this database RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally" Regards Riya

>>Yes whenever I click on the OK button for restore it gives that error. Then what do you mean by this?

What scenario have you tried on other machines?
To the best of my knowledge it is neither possible to backup and restore, nor to detach and attach a 2005 database to a 2000 server. The 2005 file format is not compatible with 2000.
The only way would be to use DTS or Integration Services. —

You cannot restore the SQL 2005 to SQL 2000, as it is invalid option to use the high-end database in lower end version of SQL. I agree with Frank to transfer the data in that manner, than using BACKUP & RESTORE compatbility. Satya SKJ
