I think this might be a real stoopid question, but ....

I have a backup of a database dbA from my live server, lets call it dbA.bac

I have a local development server which also has a database called dbA.

I want to restore dbA.bac onto the development system but with a DIFFERENT name.

I can't get it to work.

When I run through the restore options and select the file I put a new name into the restore as database I get warning messages about dbA.

HELP!

(am i being really thick?)
