MS-SQL 2000 is not supported from EMS version 2.30 and above. If your EMS is using MS-SQL 2000 for database, 
please contact us for more details. Don't try to upgrade EMS by yourself in that case, or EMS databse will 
be damaged and cannot be recovered! 

If your EMS version is 2.14 or above, there is a tool for EMS database maintenance. Before doing the upgrade
procedures, please backup the existing EMS system just in case the upgrade failed.

The backup procedures: 
    1. Close all EMS applications.
    2. Open SmartView EMS program menu > EMS Admin Tool.
    3. In the Storage Tab page:
        Click Backup button to backup EMS system. 
        Click Export button to export the EMS backup file.          
        
The recovery procedures if upgrade failed:
    1. Close all EMS applications.
    2. Remove EMS installation.
        Open SmartView EMS program menu > Uninstall.
        or use EMS CD > Uninstall EMS.
    3. Re-install EMS from EMS CD > Install EMS.
    4. Upgrade EMS to the version in which you make the EMS backup file. 
    5. Open SmartView EMS program menu > EMS Admin Tool.             
    6. In the Storage Tab page:
        Click Import button to import the EMS backup file.
    7. Run EMS to check if the system is recovered.
