backing up 2005 to something I can restore to 2000

I have an exiting database which I'd rather not manually recreate that I'd
like get a backup file from that I can restore to a 2000 database.
Is this in principle possible?
PaulYou cannot restore a SQL Server 2005 backup to SQL Server 2000. You have to
transfer objects instead using SSIS.
