Hello, 

I have a small understanding question about a SQL DB restore out of place. If the target database already has instances running with different names and I do a restore of another database, will the data or the instance on the target system be deleted or overwritten or will it only add the new instances on the target system ?

Hi @thomas.S 

 

I’m not 100% clear on what you are asking here.  Are you just trying to restore a DB to another instance with a new name?  If that’s the case the restore process will create the DB (if it doesn’t exist already) and won’t make any changes to the existing DBs in that instance.

Hello @Mike H, 

thanks. That’s what I wanted to know. 

Regards

Thomas
