Has anyone tried thsi before on sql 2005. I have a 2005 server with enterprise edition and i a trying to do a restore from a backup file which is on an external hard drive plugged onto thsi server. Will i run into any issues? will this external drive show up when i do the restore and select device option. any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,
It won't be a problem as long as the drive shows up as a local disk, and has a drive letter assigned to it. I've done it before without any issues. I hope this helps.
