trouble creating multiple copies of a database using backup and restore

$

In SqlServer2008 I could create multiple copies of the same database for different users, by using the backup and restore method and giving the destination db a new name.  Every new database created using this method got its own .mdf and .ldf file.

However when I try this in SQLServer2012 when restoring the second copy of the database I get the following failure



It would appear that using the default settings in 2012 it does a restore, but whats to name the mdf file the same from the original restore.  I don't see an option to change this 

How can I create multiple copies of the same database without this conflict?

Thanks.
