Cannot Restore Certification Authority

I am at section 16. Migrate the Certificate Authority on the 2012 Essentials to 2019 Guide.

I have run the backup to the ADCSBackup directory and copied it to the new server.

I have encountered a problem at step 16.34 

When restoring I receive the following message. 

---------------------------
Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services
---------------------------
The expected data does not exist in this directory. Please choose a different directory.

The directory name is invalid. 0x8007010b (WIN32/HTTP: 267 ERROR_DIRECTORY)
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
 

There are no contents in the DataBase directory so is this the reason for the error? I have gone back to the old server and the contents are empty there also and as the roles are now removed from the old server I have no way to generate the files again. 

Can you guide me to the next steps to recover this?
