Hi Trent,
Yes it is completely possible to restore to a new temporary web application to retrieve the items you wish to get back. More information about how to restore can be found at : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262087.aspx Essentially, you create a new web allocation and restore the backup into there. Of course this is depends on if your backup is done via Staadm or though SharePoint, if its a SQL backup then you should be able to create a web application, delete the database it creates and restore it as the same name. It really comes down to what backup solution did you use.

HI Guys, I have a custom web part which accesses list data within sharepoint. The webpart has the ability to add/delete and modify list items. The problem is someone has deleted many items and its urgent that we get them back. Because the list items were deleted through code the items dont go to recycle bin. We have a backup of the sharepoint environment & sql server content database. My Question: Is it possible to restore the backup of the sharepoint environment to another (new) web application so we can access the list items? We dont want to restore over the existing environment as too much other information has been put in since that items were deleted.
