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

方法二

需要注意两点：

在【选项】界面里

1.选择“覆盖现有数据库”

2.修改【将数据库文件还原为】区域里的【还原为】的位置，和要恢复的数据库的实际位置保持一致
