Restore SQL Database With a New Name
To restore a database with a new name, it might be required to relocate database files on disk. It depends if the original database is still present.
If the original database is no longer available, the where parameter or the “Plugin Options” database can contain the new database name, and the plugin will automatically handle the database creation with the new name.
If the original database is still required, the where parameter is used to relocate files on disk, and the new database name should be be set with the “Plugin Options” menu with the database option. The layout.dat must be selected in the restore tree.

Restore SQL to Local Disk
When specifying where=c:/path/, files will be restored to the local filesystem and the MS SQL administrator can use a TSQL or the Microsoft SQL Server Mangement Console to restore the database. SQL commands needed to restore the database are printed in the Job output as showed in the next example.
* restore where=c:/tmp
First you select one or more JobIds that contain files
to be restored. You will be presented several methods
of specifying the JobIds. Then you will be allowed to
select which files from those JobIds are to be restored.
To select the JobIds, you have the following choices:
1: List last 20 Jobs run
2: List Jobs where a given File is saved
3: Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select
4: Enter SQL list command
5: Select the most recent backup for a client
6: Select backup for a client before a specified time
7: Enter a list of files to restore
8: Enter a list of files to restore before a specified time
9: Find the JobIds of the most recent backup for a client
10: Find the JobIds for a backup for a client before a specified time
11: Enter a list of directories to restore for found JobIds
12: Select full restore to a specified Job date
13: Cancel
Select item: (1-13): 5

Restore the “master” Database
Instructions on how to restore the “master” database are detailed in this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213839%28v=sql.80%29.aspx
Database in restoring State
At the end of a restore, if the plugin option recovery was set to no, the restored database will be in the “restoring” state. To end the restore process, the recovery process must be run. It can be done with the following SQL command:
RESTORE [yourdatabase] WITH RECOVERY;
