You could script it...
>From tsql help:
This example restores a full database and transaction log and moves the
restored database into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data
directory.
RESTORE DATABASE MyNwind
FROM MyNwind_1
WITH NORECOVERY,
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'
RESTORE LOG MyNwind
FROM MyNwindLog1
WITH RECOVERY
Restore an entire database:
RESTORE DATABASE { database_name | @database_name_var }
[ FROM < backup_device > [ ,...n ] ]
[ WITH
[ RESTRICTED_USER ]
[ [ , ] FILE = { file_number | @file_number } ]
[ [ , ] PASSWORD = { password | @password_variable } ]
[ [ , ] MEDIANAME = { media_name | @media_name_variable } ]
[ [ , ] MEDIAPASSWORD = { mediapassword | @mediapassword_variable
} ]
[ [ , ] MOVE 'logical_file_name' TO 'operating_system_file_name' ]
[ ,...n ]
[ [ , ] KEEP_REPLICATION ]
[ [ , ] { NORECOVERY | RECOVERY | STANDBY = undo_file_name } ]
[ [ , ] { NOREWIND | REWIND } ]
[ [ , ] { NOUNLOAD | UNLOAD } ]
[ [ , ] REPLACE ]
[ [ , ] RESTART ]
[ [ , ] STATS [ = percentage ] ]

Subject: Bulk restoring databases
Hi all,
Anybody know how to bulk restore MSSQL 7 databases, i.e. if you have 40
backups
how you'd restore them all on the same SQL box? Bulk backup capability
would
also be nice if you know how...
David
