What is the error?

Make sure that all objects,logins, databases exist after taking BACKUP of
the master database

Restoring the Master DB to the same server is difficult enough and probably
the most difficult job you could do with sql server.
With that said, restoring to a different server is even more difficult and
not recommended as the master db contains information about the actual
server as well as all security, db and device information etc.

Why would you want to restore the master db to a different server anyway?
