Help with Server recover

edg · Guest

I got a new computer and I used the backup feature in Server 2008 to backup
the server to a USB portable hard drive, but when I try to restore it would
not allow me to use the USB drive so I transferred the backup file to the
computer and I still don't have the option of selecting the backup file and
I've tried everything; it's only giving me 2 options, the CD drive and Remote
shared folder.

I would like to know if there is a way around this problem and if not can I
just extract what I really need from the backup file?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
