Restore database



Hi,

SQL server 2005
I did a backup for application database: testdb
I re-created the master db with setup.exe
I created a new database testdb
I want to restore the backup of testdb
when I did I have the following message ...

The backupset holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'testdb'
database

What I missed ?
