Restoration Error

  • Dear All,

       I have a problem in restoring the databases onto a standby server with the recent full backup and diff backup as the recovery model is simple. The error message i get is

    1. "Cannot associate file with different databases."

    2. "Cannot apply the backup on device --- to dabase 'xxxx'

    3. Log file ---- does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database or the log may have been rebuilt previously.

    Thanks & Regards

  • The database on your standby server may be different from the database you would like to restore.

  • Can you post the exact command you issued and the exact error messages that were output?
