No no, I understand, and it wasn't necessarily directed to you nor Paul but in response to Reggie. I know you have to restore the backup, that can be the complicated part, that's what I said :P

In my experiences the hardest part was after you restore the backup if your login name was not the same, you had issues with scripts and accessing the databases. That and if script versions on one server were not the same as versions on the previous server, which was my most recent troubles, such a pain the butt, too.

But I do hope it goes smoothly and only takes a few hours and you don't run into any serious complications; I'm confident he knows what he's doing hehe I was just throwing in my two cents speaking from experience as well
