I have SQL Server 2005 set up and I backed up a database a year ago, and now need a few views from it. Backup is rather large, 6GB, and the database is up and running 24/7 and I cannot meddle with it, I just need these views. Creating a new database "TEMP" and trying to restore to it gives me an error stating this is a backup of another database. 

How can I get the data I need without detaching or corrupting the active database?

thank you
