Cause

This error message described in the "Symptoms" section is a generic message; it can occur if you restore a database to a recovery server and databases already exist in the database folders. In this case, the database on the tape is not actually corrupted.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, restore the database in an empty corresponding database folder. For example, if the directory service does not start, stop the directory service, rename the existing Dsadata folder on all drives, create new Dsadata folders on the drives, and then perform another restore operation.
