Is there a way to restore to a new - or even a different - database using SQL Backup 5?

Yes. If you want to use the same database files as the original database, omit the MOVE options e.g.

Code:
EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks_copy FROM DISK = [g:\backups\AdventureWorks.sqb]"'

If you want to create new database files, use the MOVE options e.g.

Code:
EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks_copy FROM DISK = [g:\backups\AdventureWorks.sqb] WITH MOVE [AdventureWorks_dat] TO [e:\sqldata\AdventureWorks_copy.mdf], MOVE [AdventureWorks_log] to [e:\sqldata\AdventureWorks_copy.ldf]"'
