Restore to different server

If I am restoring a database from a backup file on disk on Server_A to a
database on Server_B, in the restore syntax do I need to specify the "with
move" clause if the data and log files as backed up on Server_A are going to
be restored into differently named directories on Server_B?

restore database bar
from disk = 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Backup\foo.BAK'
with move 'fooData' to 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\bar.mdf',
move 'fooLog' to 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\bar_log.ldf',

If you are restoring the database into different directories which is
differing to source directory, then you have to say
with MOVE clause in RESTORE DATABASE command.
Syntax:-
RESTORE DATABASE MyNwind FROM Disk='D:\Backup\MyNwind.BAK'
WITH MOVE 'MyNwind' TO 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\NewNwind.mdf',
MOVE 'MyNwindLog1' TO 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\NewNwind.ldf', STATS=10
Thanks

usable after the restore to the destination server? That is, I am creating a
backup of production for testing, and I of course want my production database
to remain.

the original files at all.
