I have been backing up my dts packages using dts backup 2000. Unfortunately, I am having to restore some of the packages for the first time today due to the hard disk failure on my server. When I tried to restore the pacakges, I discovered that the dts backup 2000 tool actually backs up multiple versions of the same dts package in one single file and does not automatically restore the latest version of the packages. This is killing me. I have attached the screenshot of the package I am trying to restore (from one source file). As you can see, there are multiple versions but dts backup 2000 does not automatically choose the latest version of the package... Anyone has a solution ? I am running out of time on this. Thanks a bunch.
 
Not allowed to open box.net for attachment from my work pc.. But I guess you get the idea without the screenshot.
 
One last attempt at posting the picture.
 
Restore the DTS package, go to Enterprise Manager, look for the DTS Package name, right click and select "Versions". Select the latest (if that is what you are after), or the version on the date you want to restore, then open it up. Save that once open and it will be the latest version in the DTS history.

HTH.
