Database backup-restore

Hi Guys,

I have a .sql backup of my database (V4) which I'm trying to restore on another machine.

I'm using -
../env/bin/frappe --restore db_file_name db_name site_name

I'm getting an error that the database name already exists.

Any suggestions/pointers?

Thanks

Omkar

Try adding -f at the end.

or install it in a new site.


Any suggestions/pointers?

How should I do this? As I add a new site, database is automatically created.
