I am trying to copy some SQL Server Agent Jobs from one server to another (both using SQL Server 2000).
I found out how to create a script that creates them all, but these jobs seem to have dependencies, such as DTS packages, and I need to copy everything (and don't really know what I'm doing, let's be honest).
So I tried the built in Database Copy Wizard (in Enterprise Manager, remember that?). But as you can see in the screenshots linked below, it claims the destination .mdf and .ldf files already exist (they don't), or there is not enough disk space (there is).
See how next to both rows, there is a green tick in status? But then, further down, there is a red cross. The screen is confusing: is there an error or not?
If you click on Modify (sorry, silly rules about links when you have low rep):

Once again, I have all green ticks, but then those nasty red crosses down the bottom. Which is it saying? Or is it saying both?
So I continued anyway... and after it's done, the following failures are reported on screen:
CDW Logins Task Step: fails, but this is OK - it just couldn't transfer the administrator login (I think that's not a problem, becasue it's that machine's local windows admin logon).
CDW MSDB Task Step: fails, objects scripted OK, but can't be transferred, e.g.:
Transfer MSBD Update_Daily_Person_Set (SQL SERVER AGENT JOB) Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Step Error Description:Unspecified error Step Error code: 80004005 Step Error Help File:sqldts80.hlp Step Error Help Context ID:1100
I'm not sure where to find sqldts80.hlp (anyone know?) and googling for the 80004005 SQL Server error reveals that it could be any one of about a hundred different things (literally) depending on the rest of the error message (none was given in this case).
CDW Databases Task Step:
The actual copying of the .mdf files failed. One DB wouldn't attempt to copy because it had active connections - I assume I can just disconnect those to solve that part.
Thanks for reading this far!
I tried allowing "Everyone" write permissions on the destination folder, no change. Any other ideas?
