" Restore failed for Server 'SAI'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'pas' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) "


plz any body help me on this as soon as possible...

Thanks in advance...

Cause.

This error appears when you are trying to restore a backup set that was not created on the database that you want to apply this restore.



Solution.

To apply this restore and prevent this error message, you will need to select "Overwrite the existing database" on the restore dialog as shown in the image below.
