    Looks like the backup directory is an issue.

    Create a network share and provide appropriate permission to access from SQL and Sharepoint servers.

    Later try to take the backup. Check the backup log.

    How did you take the backup ? (STSADM) If yes, you need to use stsadm -o restore

    Only SQL backup you can restore in this method.

    Go through the following sites for SPS backup / restore.

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/back-up-restore-or-move-a-sharepoint-site-HA010069939.aspx

    SPS backup / restore:

    Back up and restore an entire farm (Office SharePoint Server 2007)
