“No backupset selected to be restored” SQL Server 2012

by

I had this problem and it turned out I was trying to restore to the wrong version of SQL. If you want more information on what’s going on, try restoring the database using the following SQL:

RESTORE DATABASE <YourDatabase> 
FROM DISK='<the path to your backup file>\<YourDatabase>.bak'

That should give you the error message that you need to debug this.
