I'm using this query to restore the database.

SQL

RESTORE DATABASE yy
FROM DISK = 'E:\dddd\db\db.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Final_Data' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\DATA\yy.mdf',
MOVE 'Final_Log' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\DATA\yy_1.ldf', recovery

But this give me an error "The file on device 'E:\dddd\db\db.bak' is not a valid Microsoft Tape Format backup set."
