Hi Suhas,

When you restore, have you select all backup files?
If you’re not sure, I suggest you try backup again. And ensure that on step 3, you have only 1 destination file. If you have more than 1 destination file (for example, 2 files), you have use both files when you restore the database.

Hi, Jay
Is your backup file has .bak extension? On Locate backup window, it will show only file that has extension as file of types column which is .bak.

Hi, Ahmed
Did you mean the OK button on step 3 in my tutorial? If it is dimmed, it means that you may mis-configure on the window.

Hi, Anth0ny989
It could be any error while backing up, try to check Application event log to see if there is any error and post it here or Microsoft forum.
