Moving SQL 7.0 to New Hardware

Hi,
I've read some articles on the web but none seem to fit my
situation.
We have an application upgrade and at the same time need
to move our SQL 7.0 to new hardware.
The new server will have Windows 2000 and SQL 7.0
installed and then we will upgrade to SQL 2000 at some
point during our application upgrade.
What is the best method of moving our SQL 7.0 databases to
our new hardware?
Thanks in advance.You can either use BACKUP and RESTORE, or sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db.
Make sure you sync users after transferring databases.
