  5. Click OK.

Upon restart, several validations, project integrity checks and database schema comparisons on the to-be restored databases are performed. If the validations fail in any way, the database restoration process is canceled without any databases being restored and subsequently the normal runtime environment is brought back up. If the validation process is successful, then the existing selected database(s) are overwritten and then the normal runtime environment is brought back up.
