I am not sure whether the database backup file  you trying to restore  is coming from the same environment as you trying to restore it onto   Remember that destination path of  mdf and  ldf files lives with the backup file itself   If this is not a case  that means the backup file is coming from a different environment from your current hosting one  make sure that  mdf and  ldf file path is the same  exists  as on your machine  relocate these otherwise    Mostly a case of restoring db in Docker image   The way how to do it  In Databases -  Restore database -   Files  option -   Check  Relocate all files to folder  - mostly default path is populated on your hosting environment already
