best practice for copying between 2000 and 2005

currently built a new server with sql server 2005,
whats the best practise for copying the databases from a sql 2000 machine ?
backup / restore ? - i tried the copy wizard and it kept falling overNot sure if it is best practice. But I have been using Backup/Restore to
upgrade (or migrate) databases from SQL2000 to SQL2005 and found it work
fine.
