Can anyone let me know best way to do this backup and restore task?

  • Backup AW2012 production database on AWPServer,

    copy to AWTServer test database server,

    And restore as AW2012

    Can we use the shared drives on network?

    Backup AW2012 production database on AWPServer

    Lookup BACKUP DATABASE in books online and then execute a BACKUP command

    copy to AWTServer test database server

    Copy / Paste .bak file

    And restore as AW2012

    Lookup RESTORE DATABASE in books online and then execute a RESTORE command (likely using WITH MOVE options)

    Maybe asking for the script was a little bit too much, but I believe some polite orientation would be sufficient.

    Yes, you can use network drives to save the backup or you can copy the backup as A.J. suggested.
