title: Trying to restore from .bak file old version to new
body: <blockquote>
    <p>The database was backed up on a server running version 8.00.2039. That version is incompatible with this server, which is running version 11.00.2100. Either restore the database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended) </p>

  <p>I am trying to restore and I get this message.. is there anyway to restore this backup without having to install SQL Server 2005?</p>
