    I try the steps to restore my back up in my server to a network mapped path (path is in another machine). But It executed infinitely with 0% progress on SQL server management studio. Is it Possible to restore a DB to network Mapped path? If yes, Please Guide me to restore DB to a network path.

  • do you mean backup across the network? If so yes that is possible so long as SQL is running under a domain account and you have the permissions set up correctly.

    backup database yourdb to disk = '\\servername\sharename\yourdb.bak'

  • Given the comment about space, I think you mean to restore the database so the data and log files are stored on a remote file share. If I guessed right then these articles may interest you:
