Restore database...schedule

SQL Server Enterprise Edition
Microsoft Windows NT - 5.2 (3790)
Product version 8.00.760 (SP3)
1. I am moving two databases to different location (Both ldf and mdf files
because of size) on the same server. Can I automate the process and schedule
to run it at midnight. When I try to create a restore task using enterprise
manager it does not give me a option to schedule the task.
2. While performing same task(restore), few services on another server (Non
sql server) needs to be stopped, once restore is complete needs to be started
again. How to automate (start and stop services).

ontario, canadaProbably better to detach the database(s), move the files, thn re-attach
Check out sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db in Books Online. You can write a
few simple T-SQL statements and schedule these as a SQL job for the Agent to
run
Step 1 - sp_detach...etc.
Step 2 - xp_cmdshell 'copy the files...'
Step 3 - sp_attach_db
