Problem Restoring Database back up.

Gaurav,

 

This kind of error usually pops up because of two reason :

 

1. You are trying to restore a back between different SQL versions . Say if you try to restore a SQL 2012 back up to SQL 2014 this error will pop up.

 

2. The .bak file does not have adequate permissions . From services.msc get to know the account under which the SQL Service is running. This service should have access to the .bak file folder .

Please refer these links for betterunderstanding :
