Hi, my master server is NBU 7.0.1 on Windows 2008 r2. I have the following clients:
1. Sharepoint server A (sharepoint 2003 on Windows 2003 SP2, NBU 7.0.1);
2, Sharepoint server B (sharepoint 2007 on Windows 2003 R2 SP2, NBU 7.0.1);
Both sharepoint servers are standalone servers. I use Sharepoint agent to backup both servers.
3. SQL server A (SQL2000 on W2K SP4, NBU 6.5.6);
4. SQL server B (SQL2005 on Windows 2003 SP2, NBU 7.0.1).
Both SQL servers are standalone servers. I use SQL agent to backup the databases on both servers.
I want to do some restore tests but I do not want to touch the production servers. My question is:
1. Can I restore backup data of the Sharepoint servers to a test Sharepoint server?
2. Can I restore backup data of the SQL servers to a test SQL server?
I tried to do some research but seems there is no much info about restore to another server.
Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. Can I restore transaction log to another client as well?
For Sharepoint, is it possbile to restore to another client? For sharepoint, currently my backup selection is Microsoft Sharepoint Resources:\. I do not use GRT.
