I have selected the option "From database" under "Specify the source and location of backup sets to restore"

Below are my settings for the restoration.

Look at the first part - "Cannot Open Backup Device". Thats your error. Probably the file doesnt exist.

You are asking the server to restore from the last time it was backed up, but the database has no knowledge of whether someone has then moved that backup file somewhere else.

If you click the "From Device" option then you can locate the backup file yourself, and restore from that.
