Explanation Instead restore Database1 from Server1 to the Server2 by using the RESTORE Transact-SQL command and the REPLACE option. Note: REPLACE should be used rarely and only after careful consideration. Restore normally prevents accidentally overwriting a database with a different database. If the database specified in a RESTORE statement already exists on the current server and the specified database family GUID differs from the database family GUID recorded in the backup set, the database is not restored. This is an important safeguard. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/restore-statements-transact-sql
