hortonm 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2006 Hello, I was just wondering what options I need to select to perform a test restore of an active database? When I perform the restore, I don't want to copy over the database I am backing up, I'd like to restore to anothe location on the SQL server. Is this possible? My SQL knowledge is limited, but I am the backup admin for our company... Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
