Hi @qasimidl ,

1.Please make sure you have the following memberships:

• securityadmin fixed server role on the SQL Server instance.
• db_owner fixed database role on all databases that are to be updated.
• Administrators group on the server on which you are running the PowerShell cmdlets.

2.You could use the following PowerShell commands to restore your SharePoint site:

Restore-SPSite -Identity <SiteCollectionURL> -Path <Backup file> [-DatabaseServer <DatabaseServerName>] [-DatabaseName <ContentDatabaseName>] [-HostHeader <Host header>] [-Force] [-GradualDelete] [-Verbose]  

- <SiteCollectionURL> is URL for the site collection you want to restore.

• <DatabaseServerName> is name of the database server where the site collection resides.
• <ContentDatabaseName> is the name of the content database.

how exactly you took backup of site in source and how you restore it on target farm? Do you use BackupSPSite/Restore-SPSite for that? If yes were there any errors in PowerShell or in logs during restore? And also do you use the same SP2019 version (up to CU/patch level) both on source and target farms?
