Hi we run 2012 enterprise and I'm trying to use the ssms restore task to use an older full backup of db A to a newly created db called B.
I scripted B as a "new" DB with recovery simple. I believe A is also recovery simple.
The ssms error i get is "the backup set holds a backup of a database other than the exising 'B' database".
In the source section of the restore task i chose the specific .bak in the "device" section. SSMS filled in the db name 4 me in that section.
In the destination section i named "B" as the database.
My concern is that some of the alternative options involve installs of certain agents that i may not have installed. But I'm willing to try whatever is necessary. I'm trying to avoid ssis's alternative because my recollection is that route takes forever to run.
