Restore through drive in other server

Hi all,
Does SQL Server 2000 allow restore through drive in other server?
This driver is in the Network.
Thanks for your help,
AlejandraYou can restore from a backup located on another server by specifying a UNC
path. For example:
RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase
FROM DISK='\\MyOtherServer\MyBackups\MyDataba
se.bak'
Note that the SQL Server service needs to be running under a domain account
with permissions to the share.
Hope this helps.

I had this error:
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot open backup device '\\server2\d$\Mssql\Backup\DB_1309.bak'. Device
error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
In log:

'\\server2\d$\Mssql\Backup\DB_1309.bak' failed to open. Operating system
error = 5(Access is denied.).
Any idea?
thanks

This article covers backups, but the same requirements apply to restores.

If your security people won't let you be an administrator on the box (as
opposed to in SQL Server), then make sure your account has read privilges on
the file/directory. You may need a non-administrative share.

I had success with RESTORE.
But I didn't understand why after restart SQLServer the databases couldn't
open becase they were in "SUSPECT" state.
Any Idea?
Thanks
