I have created the file group for my database.First i took backup of individual file group(mdf and ndf) then I tried to restore primary file group but i got error as
File 'testnvt2' was not backed up in file 1 on device 'D:vtprimary.bak'. The file cannot be restored from this backup set.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3144)
then i tried to restore only secondary file group, but again i got the error as
File 'regSQL_dat' was not backed up in file 1 on device 'D:vtndf.bak'. The file cannot be restored from this backup set.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3144)
So why this error comes? How exactly to backup and restore only a single group or restore file groups?

Looks like the restore statements were specifying the wrong files. Post the restore statements you used.

I used the SSMS gui option to restore the file group.

I found that while i restore primary file group in ssms by using only primary file group file backup file i used following script
RESTORE DATABASE [test] FILE = N'test', FILE = N'test_ndf' FROM DISK = N'D:\test1.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
When i created script using ssms i found that i was restoring all file groups using only primary file group backup.But in options page of restore i was not able to remove other file group selections.
Then from this automated script i changed something as
RESTORE DATABASE [test] FILE = N'test' FROM DISK = N'D:\test1.bak' WITH Recovery;
GO
So here i am restoring only primary file group,the restore was successful but database could not be brought to online message came ,following is the message
Processed 168 pages for database 'test', file 'test' on file 1.
Processed 6 pages for database 'test', file 'test_log' on file 1.
The roll forward start point is now at log sequence number (LSN) 37000000024300001. Additional roll forward past LSN 37000000028900001 is required to complete the restore sequence.
This RESTORE statement successfully performed some actions, but the database could not be brought online because one or more RESTORE steps are needed. Previous messages indicate reasons why recovery cannot occur at this point.
RESTORE DATABASE ... FILE=<name> successfully processed 174 pages in 0.283 seconds (4.786 MB/sec).
So how can i restore only primary file group? And why above message has come?

Enterprise Edition? Or Standard?

Only Enterprise edition allows piecemeal restores (a database restored and online with only some of its filegroups). Since you're not running Enterprise edition, you'll need to restore the other filegroups, then restore log backups to bring the DB online.

thank u for replying.
I have a doubt. All my database have recovery model full. If i do file group backup separately for primary file group regularly and secondary file group when only required then can i restore the backup in such a way that first i restore the latest primary file group backup and then old secondary file group backup. Is that possible in my sql environment?

You'd have to restore the primary filegroup backup, the the secondary, then all the log backups since the oldest of those 2 backups to bring the DB to a consistent point
