First of all thank you for anyone that answer my question :)

After I try run backup otrs on my otrs virtual machine, now I want to try to 
restore it, i got an error

 "ERROR: Already existing tables in this database. A empty database is required 
for restore!"



Information

1.  I am used my copy of OTRS vmware, it's very fresh, just need run 
/installer.pl to setup



My question is

1.  It's a fresh system, I even not yet create a ticket, just test that 
/index.pl is opened, but why I got an error about existing tables? How to make 
this restore test is work ?


What backup tool did you use? the backup script that comes with otrs should 
create the correct commands...

Your  SQL dump probably contains CREATE TABLE directives without DROP TABLE, 
which doesn't work if the tables already exist. You could either load the SQL 
file (shouldn't be too big if you did not create any tickets yet), search for 
all

CREATE TABLE `tablename`

directives and put

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `tablename`;

above them. You could also simply use

DROP DATABASE databasename;

and

CREATE DATABASE databasename;

(all from the mysql command shell) to create an empry database

but this is only recommended if your SQL dump includes the neccesary 
information about collation, character set etc.
