You can specify the file names to restore to:

RESTORE DATABASE [ServMan] FROM  DISK = N'K:\Volume3\BackupSqlDbo\ServManNew_backup_200908302125.bak' WITH  FILE = 1,  MOVE N'ServManNew' TO N'D:\Microsoft SQL Server\Data\ServMan.mdf',  MOVE N'ServManNew_log' TO N'D:\Microsoft SQL Server\Data\ServMan_log.ldf',  NOUNLOAD,  REPLACE,  STATS = 10

Notice I am restoring from "ServManNew.bak" to the database "ServMan". I have two databases "ServManNew" and "ServMan" and the above example restore one db backup to the other db.
