Hi,
What is the simplest way to move the whole instance from one box to another. I can stop all SQL services for couple hours, it's no problem. But I'd like to make absolute copy. So I need to move all databases, logins, roles, triggers, stored procs, packages, jobs, credentials, endpoints, proxys, etc. I need just replace the server (the box itself) with a new one.
Thank you.

How to move the whole SQL 2005 instance?

By the way, would it work:
If I delete whole folder "SQL 2005" on the new box (after installation) and then copy this folder from the old box
