There are following easy steps to resolve this issue:

Step 1:

Step 2:

A new wizard will open.Now click on the options then check the checkbox
 
"Overwrite the existing database (with replace)"

Now perform the rest of the steps for restoring the database.The error message will not be produce again.

    1. Hi Pradeep and welcome to my blog.I think in your case its not possible bacause you are loading SQL server version 2012 R2 db on Sql Server version 2008 R2.So its not possible to load earlier version db on to the older version db.In my case the SQL server version of the backup db is same as the SQL server on which I am loading the backup.
