Doesn't the above two statements Contradict each other?

Answer 2

You will need some kind of SQL client on the other computer. As sqlcmd is part of any SQL Server installation that can be used.

Then use the RESTORE (SQL) statement to restore the backup.

Details about the RESTORE statement can be found in the manual: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms190372%28v=sql.90%29.aspx

You can use any SQL client that is able to connect to the SQL Server on the second computer to run that.

To make things easier, you could use your SSMS instance to let it generate the necessary SQL statement. Just pretend to restore the backup on your computer and use the "Generate Script" dropdown at the top of the dialog to see the SQL that would have been run by SSMS.
