Basically ... NO ... the database has to be shut down to single user mode for a
restore, but why would you want to run the restore onto the live database? It
would be better to restore to a new database and then simply switch them,
although personally I rarely restore the copy that I am working with. Just
restore a nightly backup to a new file to ensure that there are no problems with
the backup.
