You could use something like the following script. It restores a database from the filesystem, and it overwrites the existing database with the name of "MyDB", moving the files to new locations of your choice in the process.

RESTORE DATABASE

    MyDB

FROM DISK = '\\MyShare\MyBackup.bak'

WITH

    MOVE 'DataFile' TO 'D:\myNewDBLocation\DataFile.mdf',

    MOVE 'LogFile' TO 'E:\\myNewDBLocation\LogFile.ldf'

, REPLACE

You can find out the name of the llogical files (in the above, those are called DataFile and LogFileby running the following:

RESTORE FILELISTONLY

FROM DISK = '\\MyShare\MyBackup.bak'
