Use the following instructions when you need to create a copy of an existing database on the same server.
- Create a backup of the existing database.
- Create the new database and select the task ‘Restore’
- Select the db backup file to restore, however as the backup is for another database on the existing server the option ‘Overwrite the existing database (WITH REPLACE)’ must be selected
- Before restoring the database, just check the filepaths where the database is being restored too!
