Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether a new image of the restored database will be created.
If True, a new image of the database is created. The image is created regardless of the presence of an existing database with the same name.
If False (default), a new image of the database is not created by the restore operation. The database that is targeted by the restore operation must exist on an instance of SQL Server.
