This is because you're restoring into the same database that you backed up
from.  I recommend creating a new database 'suresha_new'

 Then, restore into that new database.  Once you've restored, you can:


  ALTER DATABASE suresha RENAME TO suresha_orig;

  ALTER DATABASE suresha_new RENAME TO suresha;
