My bad translation for you lol. (:
The filepath should be replaced with your filepath (including arabic letters ofc),
just the final location "Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup" has to be the same.
My backups worked fine with being stored in a separate folder in C:\ (means: "C:\backups").
If it won't work anyways, try resizing the files to 2 MB instead of 3 (this was the reason why my first backups weren't restorable...).
Therefore, right click on the EMPTY(!) database and choose "Tasks/Shrink/Files".
There should the option "Release unused space" be ticked.
Choose "Reorganize pages before releasing unused space" and enter
2 MB instead of 3 MB into the field "Shrink files to: X MB (Minimum is X MB)"
Then click on Ok an repeat this step with the two other EMPTY databases.
After you've finished this, you may restore the databases.
Also you need to have the option "OVERWRITE EXISTING DATABASE" enabled.
It is in the options if you restore a database.
