Query Solving (Database Restore Related)

 

I have a Restore related question from one of my DBA Friends mentioned bellow

Query:

Hi, I tried restoring DB with below query 

RESTORE DATABASE sirwar

FROM DISK = 'F:\15.02\15.02.12 backup'

WITH REPLACE,

MOVE 'LogicalDatafileName' TO 'f:\sirwar.mdf',

MOVE 'LogicalLogfilename' TO 'f:\sirwar.ldf'

but this came with an error like this.......... 

Msg 3234, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 < ' 
Logical file 'LogicalDatafileName' is not part of database 'sirwar'. Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names. 
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

 

Solutions mentioned bellow:

1) sp_helpdb on the source database. It's the first column in the 
    second result set, just copy and paste into the single quotes. 

2) RESTIRE FILELISTONLY on the back-up file. Again, it's the first 
    column.
