BackUp - Device Activation Error

The directory structure where database previously was NOT
the same directory structure on the server you are trying
to restore database to.
Edit the directory structure on the 'Options' tab to
change the old directory to the new directory where you
want the data & log files to reside (If you are restoring
through E.M. If not, use MOVE option-See B.O.L.).

Thank you very much it worked.
But i had to go to the server rather than my own machine.
I guess it was the directory structure.
warm regards,
