thanks mohammed
question....
in the source for restore....
from database is ok to use?
from device... for some reason it won't let me select a network location....
is this normal?
I guess I don't understand the concept of backup sets versus a backup file....
from database versus device is obviously using some logic to grab the correct backup files which are located on a network drive.
so it seems I need to I can use the from database option instead of from device... and restore a new database from the production database without any effect?

From a network location is not supported as SQL server can see local drives only. Your option would be to copy the BAK file to a local drive and restore it from the local drive.
