Restoring a database (without effecting original) - to test the retore process...

Hi, Hope this is the right forum. I using SQL Server 2014 and want to test the "restore" process is working correctly. What I wan to do is restore an existing database (lets call it "DatabaseA") to a completely new name like "DatabaseA_RESTORE_TEST" I do not want DatabaseA effected in any way - it has to keep continuing to work ie I do not want it overwritten. At the end of the restore I check the restored DB and then delete it. I am slightly confused as to what are the best options on the "Restore Database" window:1. On the General tab I am using the new database name2. On the Fields tab - the Restore As point to a different .mdf path for both the rows and logs3. On the "Options" I'm unsure what options to select. Can you help with point #3 please? I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks,J.
