Error 3154: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'xx' database.

HELP!

This is happening with a restore to SS 2005 from a SS2000 backup. This article says to use the 'WITH REPLACE' clause. The SS2005 management studio does not seem to allow this via the GUI.

Did you use the overwrite flag in the GUI if the database already existed ?

HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer.

http://www.sqlserver2005.de|||True and you can use the Query Editior to restore the same using RESTORE DATABASE .... WITH REPLACE, as referred in BOL it is easy.|||asdaf sa gs ga sgasg asg g a
