If you are restoring over an existing database you need to specify WITH REPLACE. Typically when restoring a database on a different server the RESTORE command will look something like this:
RESTORE DATABASE [DatabaseName] FROM DISK = 'Backup Path' WITH
MOVE 'datafile1' TO 'data file path\physical_file_name.mdf',
MOVE 'logfile' TO 'log file path\physical_file_name.ldf',
REPLACE /* only needed if the database already exists */
Thanks I will give this a try. When I type out the MOVE command, do I type the actual name of the datafile and logfile after MOVE or do I type "datafile" like you have above? (might be a dumb question but I am trying to get the game-plan for this migration well documented)
