restore from unc path from EM

using sql server 2k (guess we need to specify this now)

Is it possible to get EM to allow me to navigate to a UNC path.  I know how
to use the following and have MSSQLSERVER running under a domain account, bu
t
the license is for the tools and point-and-click is nice.

RESTORE DATABASE MyDB
FROM DISK =  '\\non_sql_server_sh
 are\db_backups\MyDB_
12272005.bak'

Here is a KB article on backin up to a UNC name.  You can do the reverse by
entering a UNC name for a backup from device dialog.  Requirements and
troubleshooting are pretty much the same.
