No, you will have to do a restore. Please see this reference on how to do file and filegroup restores.

  • TNX. Please, let me ask you one more question. I have only FULL and LOG backups. Is there any way to restore only NDF file with FULL backup file?

    Yes, do you file/filegroup restore using the full backup with NORECOVERY, and then restore your log backups sequentially, with the last one specifying RECOVERY. The link I posted in my answer shows how all of that can be accomplished. Sep 15, 2014 at 12:50
  • I understand restore procedure, I was just not sure about restoring only one file(in this case index file). It is great to know that it is possible. Thank you! :)
