| Oct 11, 2013 at 12:06 | comment | added | Karthik Jaganathan | SharePoint handled it. I just ran the restore powershell script. | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 12:02 | comment | added | John John | but how in this case i can force the site collection to use the new content DB? | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 11:58 | comment | added | Karthik Jaganathan | In my case i dint delete the exsisting database, because I will lose the other site collections data If I delete it, so I just added a new content database, so it was like my web application was having 2 content databases. | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 11:56 | comment | added | John John | thanks for the reply, so should i first delete the exsisting data base first ? | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 11:53 | comment | added | Karthik Jaganathan | So its like we are trying to place the same database again in the web application and GUID of it is causing the error, I went to central admin -> Manage content database -> Select your web application -> Add a content database, then I ran my powershell script to restore, then restore worked perfectly by puting the database into newly created content database. | |

| Oct 11, 2013 at 11:45 | comment | added | Karthik Jaganathan | few weeks back I faced the same issue, In Central Administration, for that particular web application, I created a new Content database and I tried to restore, then restore worked perfectly. I dont know whether its the right way to do, but this resolved the problem for me, as it was very urgent issue for me, I did it. | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 11:41 | comment | added | Karthik Jaganathan | Is your old site collection still resides inside the Web Application in which you are trying to restore.? | |
