No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

It's no different than a regular restore, it's just that the PATH changes:

Local:
FROM DISK = 'E:\Backup\SomeFile.bak'

Network:
FROM DISK = '\\server1\share1\dir1\SomeFile.bak'

What will be different though is the speed of the restore. Restoring from a network path will take longer, could be much longer. We've got a system that takes just 2 hours (it's a huge database) when we restore it from the local disks (SAN), yet it takes 5+ hours from a network path. Ensure that your network latency is minimal if this is a concern for you.

You can use the network path in place of local drive name for restoration via network.

Only one thing you have to keep in mind that you should have permission on the remote network system to read and open the file.

Can I help you any more?
