I found just using the "Replace" option resolved the issue e.g. RESTORE DATABASE MyDataBase FROM DISK = 'C:\MyDataBase.bak' WITH REPLACE I hope this helps someone else who experienced the same issue I did Hi, good post; another caveat when moving a MSSQL database is sometimes you may receive the following message

“Error 3154: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing database.”

I found just using the “Replace” option resolved the issue
e.g.

RESTORE DATABASE MyDataBase
FROM DISK = ‘C:\MyDataBase.bak’
WITH REPLACE

I hope this helps someone else who experienced the same issue I did
