RE: Possible restore issue with 7.3.0.383 to replace database

I think you would not need to use the MOVE options, since the database you are overwriting was originally restored using backups from the same database whose backup sets you are now using to restore from.

From what I can tell, as long as the database you are trying to restore over, and the backup set you are using to restore from, have the same family GUID value, SQL Server will use the file locations of the database you are now overwriting.

I don't know how to find out the family GUID value of an active database, but if you back up that database, you can read this value using the RESTORE HEADERONLY command.
