The steps to "recover" the DB onto the new server are covered in the Disaster
reovery section. Once restored, yu will use the Server Management tool in
Deployment manager to redirect CRM to the new server.

Thanks for the answer but I couldn't find anything related
to this topic in the implementation guide. Neither the
search for "migration" nor "SQL database" or any other
words gave me a chapter with the required information.
I don't want to migrate, but just move existing SQL 2000
databases of a productive CRM 1.2 environment from one
server to another, leaving the CRM on this machine where
it had been installed originally.
I'm using the implementation guide that it's part of the
CRM 1.2 CDs delivered by Microsoft. Do you have any other
sources where I might find the required information?
Thanks.
