Hi Experts,

Need a small help as I got a situation where I need to restore (with over write) a database, here the situation is on the source database there are 2 log files but when I see on the destination database it is only one. I feel that we can’t restore on this, please suggest me if I am wrong.

Thanks in Advance.

Thank You All In Advance

That should work fine. If you're using t-sql to do the restore then you just need to specify WITH REPLACE in the command

You CAN restore a database that already exists at the target. And it makes no difference if the source has two log files but the existing target only has one.

Let us know if you have any problem performing the restore.

You have an option of placing the log files on different paths , use the commands on this post to derive information required and then construct your sql statement
