Restore backup on different machine

We are moving backups from being written on a local box, to writing tham on
a
NAS and making a daily copy to a report server. So, to start, I made a manua
l
copy of the backup files to the NAS and then wen't to restore tham.
What I get is an error message that includes the path name from the machine
where the backup was made as well as the path name for the log file.
Duh!
I can see that I need to add the 'WITH MOVE' parameters to the restore
command, but I can't get them to work. This is probably because I flat-out
don't understand what is happening. Once I say where the full backup is, why
does it care about the path is was backed up to? Why does it care about
restoring a log file I didn't ask for?
Once I change the backup path on the production machine to the NAS (so that
the paths are the same, will this issue just go away?> I can see that I need to add the 'WITH MOVE' parameters to the restore

Because when it restores the database, it needs to create an MDF and LDF
file of the same size for the database to be restored correctly and usable.

When you restore a database, you get the data file(s) and the log file(s).
This is not negotiable.

That depends, if you mean that you intend to restore to the exact same
location as an existing data/log file location, then no, that won't work.
