If you insist on providing insufficient information no one can help you.

Where in this post is version information? Where in this post is information on the nature of the backup? Where in this post is the actual error message? Where in this post is the script used to create the backup? Where in this post is the script used to perform the restore? Where in this post is the script generating the error?
