Restoring .backup into an existing db fails

I have a .backup file I created from an existing database using the Backup option in pgAdmin III.

I can use this to restore a new database instance. However, if I try to use this .backup on an existing database instance, including the one I used to create the backup, the restore procedure fails. Is this not allowed?

TIA.

Klaus
