Cannot Restore Backup SQL Server 2008 R2

  • I have taken a complete backup of database "NiAccDb11" from SQL Management Studio.

    When I try to restore backup to the same database on another server, I get the following error message

    Restore failed for Server "SRV-NEWINDIA" (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExteded)

    Additional Information:

    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing "NiAccdb11" database. (Micorsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

    How can I overcome this error message.

  • Do you already have a database called 'NiAccdb11' on the server?

    You could use with replace on the restore or restore the dataabse to a new name.

  • In the Option TAB of Restore,check the Overwrite on the Exising Database or check the space is available for restore database in the drive you mentioned
