 - We strongly recommended to restore the "master" database using the [Restore as files](#restore-as-files) option and then restore [using T-SQL commands](/sql/relational-databases/backup-restore/restore-the-master-database-transact-sql).
 - For all system databases (model, msdb), stop the SQL Server Agent service before you trigger the restore.

+- For the **master databases**, the **Alternate Location** option for restore isn't supported. We recommend you to restore the **master database** using the **Restore as files** option, and then restore using the `T-SQL` commands.

If you want to restore the same name with the **target database**, we  recommend you to restore using the **Restore as files** option, and then restore using the `T-SQL` commands.
