SQL SERVER恢复数据错误解决：The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing

http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/44967/error-3154-while-restoring-a-backup-using-with-replace

You should use WITH REPLACE and in general avoid using the point-and-click thingies in Management Studio - they're inflexible and often have bugs.

This worked for me:

USE [master];
GO

CREATE DATABASE test;
GO

CREATE DATABASE test2;
GO

BACKUP DATABASE test TO DISK = 'c:\temp\test.bak' WITH INIT, COMPRESSION;
GO

RESTORE DATABASE test2
  FROM DISK = 'c:\temp\test.bak'
  WITH REPLACE,
  MOVE 'test' TO 'c:\temp\test2.mdf',
  MOVE 'test_log' TO 'c:\temp\test2.ldf';

Also you should make sure when you backup databases you use WITH INIT and/or don't point the device at a file that already contains a backup (since it might not be the same database you're backing up now - especially if you reuse names like test...).

1) Use WITH REPLACE while using the RESTORE command.

2) DROP the older database which is conflicting and restore again using RESTORE command.

There is no problem with the SQL Server version. As Aaron pointed out, I am also able to restore the database from 2008 to 2012 and same versions as well.

方法一：

--返回由备份集内包含的数据库和日志文件列表组成的结果集。
--主要获得逻辑文件名
USE master
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
   FROM DISK = 'g:\back.Bak' 
Go
--**********************************
/*
利用bak恢复数据库，强制还原(REPLACE)
STATS = 10 每完成10%显示一条记录
DBTest和DBTest_log是上面g:\back.Bak里的逻辑文件
*/
USE master
RESTORE DATABASE DB 
   FROM DISK = 'g:\back.Bak'
   WITH MOVE 'DBTest' TO 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server2005\Data\DB.mdf', 
   MOVE 'DBTest_log' TO 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server2005\Data\DB_log.ldf',
STATS = 10, REPLACE
GO
-------------------------------------

/*
备份数据DB 到.bak文件。然后利用此bak文件恢复一个新的数据库DBTest。
*/
USE master
BACKUP DATABASE DB 
  TO DISK = 'g:\DBBack0930.bak' 
RESTORE FILELISTONLY 
  FROM DISK = 'g:\DBBack0930.bak' 
RESTORE DATABASE DBTest 
  FROM DISK = 'g:\DBBack0930.bak' 
  WITH MOVE 'DBTest' TO 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server2005\Data\DBTest.mdf', 
  MOVE 'DBTest_log' TO 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server2005\Data\DBTest_log.ldf'
GO
