If you need to move a database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2000 you need to
create from scripts and copy data to file with bulk copy. If the database
uses features that do not exist in SQL 2000, you will have to make some
compromises.
You cannot restore a backup from SQL 2005 on SQL 2000. For quite obvious
reasons: there are features in SQl 2005 for which SQL 2000 is not prepared.
