Question : Is there a quick way to restore multiple databases?

Hi,
My MS SQL 2005 database server is currently running 94 different databases.
The db's are backed up nightly as full db backups.

Here's my issue...
I have a new server - is there a quick way of restoring all 94 databases and logins on this new server?
I cannot take my existing server offline (its not an option) so is it a ase of manually restoring each db and then fixing the Orphaned users as I find them?

Are there any 3rd party tools out there that will do this?

Thanks,
Vin

Hi,

you rbest bet would be to configure the new server as a mirror and allow the first server to synchronise with teh secodn, whilst it might take a littl ebit of time to set up will ensure you get teh most accurate copy with the least downtime. shoudl only require one reboot
