BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup

Question

In SQL Server Management Studio I want to restore a database backup where I have a database file NES.bak
So first I have created a new database which takes the same name then I select "restore the database" and specify the path of the database but  I got this error 

BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup

Answer 1

BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup

You have two options to restore a database backup without getting this error.

1. Try to restore the database from your backup without creating a new database that should be working properly.

1. or Take a full database backup from the newly created database before performing the database restore.
