SMO restore failed / fail to open backup device error

I got an error when I try to restore my SQL Server 2008 R2 database:

Recovery failed for server "KIMO-PC".

Used code:

    Server myServer = new Server("KIMO-PC");
    Database myDatabase = new Database(myServer, "POS");
    Restore restoreDB = new Restore();
    restoreDB.Database = myDatabase.Name;
    restoreDB.Action = RestoreActionType.Database;
    restoreDB.Devices.AddDevice(FileName, DeviceType.File);

    restoreDB.ReplaceDatabase = false;

    restoreDB.NoRecovery = true;

    restoreDB.PercentComplete += CompletionStatusInPercent;
    restoreDB.Complete += Restore_Completed;

    restoreDB.SqlRestore(myServer);

and here are the details of the exception

Take a look at the inner stack trace exception:

Unable to open backup device 'C: \ Users \ kimo \ Desktop \ POS.bak'. operating system error 5



Most likely, SQL Server does not have permission to view files in kimo \ Desktop. Move the backup to a different folder such as c: \ temp and try again.

Try the following:



Database currentDb = srvsql.Databases["dbname"];// get the current database

if (currentDb != null)
{
    Connection.ChangeDatabase("dbname");
    //Stop all processes running on the DataBase database
    server.KillAllProcesses("dbname ");
}
