Notes:

Incase you get the following error...
 
"The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Database Name' database".
 
Type the following in the Query window...
 
RESTORE DATABASE dbname
       FROM DISK = 'C:\Backupdbname.bak'
               WITH REPLACE
where dbname is the name of the Database to which you want to restore the backed-up data.
and 'C:\Backupdbname.bak' is the location and the name of the backed-up file
The restore process may take some time depending on the size of the backed-up Globodox DB being restored.
