Hello,

I have a backup of an sql 2005 server database that I am trying to restore to an sql server 2008 r2.

The backup is a full backup. However, when I try to run the restore, I get an error message saying "the backup set holds a backup other than the existing database". The database is the same however.

Does anyone know what the issue is and what can be done for it to work?

Thank you.

Could you post the RESTORE procedure?
Check this post for a solution using WITH REPLACE for the 3154 error
