Hi,

I would like to restore a previous backup of my SQL Database to a separate database so that I can take some data from it, without effecting my current database in any way.

Every time I try doing this there is a warning saying that I am overwriting the current db.

How do I get around this?

Cheers

Ian
 
That is something DBA's deal with on a regular basis. Best to post in the Forum: Microsoft SQL Server: Setup and Administration Forum
