Can anyone advise how I can restore each site backup to the SAME SERVER (with a different name, of course) to test the backups worked ok? Obviously I don't want to make any changes to the Portal site or any exisitng WSS sites. Do I need a new content DB? Should I set up a new managed path for the restores? If so, how? I want to use stsadm.exe (-restore) to restore the sites. Any help or advice would be most welcome. 11/14/2008
