| Hi all, I have a .BAK file which i need to restore. It originally came from another machine and I am now trying to restore the DB. When i try to restore the bak file using enterprise manager i receive the following message... "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing "SAP" database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally" Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance, G |

| The message is telling you that a database of that name already exists on the server you are restoring to. If you are certain that you want to overwrite that database, use the command RESTORE ... WITH REPLACE. -- David Portas ------------ Please reply only to the newsgroup -- |

| Hi There are plenty of references to "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing" if you search Google. You don't specify if you have created the new database before trying to restored (which is not necessary!) If the file locations of the old database do not correspond with the file location of the new database, you may get this message if you do not change the locations. You may also need to specify the overwrite option.
