Backup SQL 2005 - Restore In SQL 2000

Hi,
I have been testing a database in SQL 2005 (keeping it in 2000 Mode from the
properties) and need to restore it back to another machine running SQL 2000
SP4. I am getting errors and cannot find a way to do it? Can any one help
please?
Thanks
MikeOne way to do that is running DTS Packages to transfer the data

You cannot restore backwards across versions like this... You'll have
to migrate the data and schema using import/export, DTS, etc...
