Anyone who’s run the native SharePoint Backup and Restore utility knows that you have to install the SQL 2000 client tools on the server that the backup runs from. But what if the environment uses SQL Server 2005?

When I tried installing the client tools from the SQL Server 2005 install media, I kept getting an error on the install. So I went looking to see if Microsoft has any publicly available SQL 2005 client tools. Turns out a file from the Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 did the trick. Download the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components on the Feature Pack page and install. You should be good to go. Worked for me anyway… YMMV. :)

I found out this week that two of my co-workers and employees have received the Microsoft MVP for SharePoint!

Congratulations Amanda and Shane!

These MVP awards could not have gone to two more deserving people in the world. Amanda and Shane have been two of the strongest proponents, supporters, and users of SharePoint since the product’s inception. They have been prime movers in putting Infotech on the SharePoint map.

I’m so proud you you both.
