Hello,

Using 2005 SQL Server Developer Adn.

Original Wrox zip file contains with "thephile-database-backup" database file - no .bak extension.

I renamed it as "thephile-database-backup.bak" and copied it into

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup

folder.

By using 2005 SQL Server Management Studio, I created "thePhile" database under database folder.

and right clicked on "thePhile" > task > restore > database > then
selected "from device" added
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\thephile-database-backup.bak

I am getting following error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'thePhile' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)


Please, help

Have you figured this out yet?

Anyone get this sorted out?? I have the same problem.

What comes up must come down. [The single-most underrated quote of all time]

Try clicking on Options on the left hand side and then Overwrite the existing database.

That worked. Thanks!
