I have looked all over the Microsoft site and they don't give you much in the way of a 'best practices' guide to backup the MSDE DB and the SharePoint Sites. What are the best ways to do this? I am running only SharePoint Services 2.0/Server 2003 with MSDE...any ideas or sites out there that address this?

Hi,
Yeah I was a bit unclear there

Chose your new virutal server (i.e restore)
3. created a top-level site (it did it automatically for me)after that I deleted the newly created SharePoint site, because I could not restore when a site was present.
4. used the stsadm tool and restored it to my new website

Hope that helps a bit.
