Description of my issue: I have been doing quite a few backups and restores, especially on my DEV server. Sometimes I need several versions next to each other. So far I always used the same database name as the original productive database. This always overwrites the database of my former test installation.
Is it possible to give the wizard a new, different database name, so that I can have multiple test versions next to each other? Do I have to make adjustments somewhere? Configuration.php?

If I read correct I will have to create an empty database before the restore, correct?

Thanks

Roger

Yes, you must create the database manually prior to the restore. During the restore, simply enter the new database credentials when prompted. The configuration.php file will be automatically updated.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

You're welcome!
