I'm moving a SharePoint system from one server to another, and have successfully used STSADM to move the content across, with a restoremethod of new.

I now need to do another backup / restore cycle before I go live, but as predicted, the new option won't work, as the database is now populated.

There is another option with restoremethod of overwrite, and the technet advice has the following quote :
"The overwrite value restores the content and settings to their original location. "

Does this mean it restores the content & settings to the old server ( even though it's run on the new server ), or is this the same location as the old server had, but it's physically on the new server ?
