do 2005 backups restore into 2000?

Can sql server 2005 database backups restore to sql server 2000 (assuming no
sql server 2005 specific elements in are the database, such as clr stuff or
new transaction sql features)?
Thank you
No. You would have to export the data from 2005 and import it into 2000
table by table.
