Backup Migration Failed Because the Database with the Same Name Already Exists

Scenarios

When you migrate full backup data to the cloud, the following error message is displayed: The restore database already exists in the destination DB instance

Possible Causes

To ensure data security, RDS for SQL Server does not support migrating databases with the same name to the cloud.

Solution

If you want to overwrite the data in the existing database, back up the existing data and delete the database with the same name. Alternatively, set Overwrite Data to Yes when creating a backup migration task, and then migrate the data again.
