Windows Server 2003R2 w/ Sp2
SQL 2005 w/ Sp1

VERY limited knowledge of SQL.

I have figured out how to manually run a backup job. In the event I need to rebuild the server from scratch do i simply run the restore command or do i create the DB first and then run the restore to populate the DB?

Thanks in advance.

The restore also creates the database.

So, if I simply install the OS, install SQL and run the restore the DB should be fully functional? No additional steps?
