Reinstalled beta version 19042. Problem restoring files from backup.

Question

I had to do a reinstall due to some corrupted file(s). I did a backup prior to the reinstall. But now the Restore program doesn't see that backup. It does see the previous one. But when I tried using that one, nothing was restored.

How did you backup? 3rd party software?

Backup will find several previous backups. But when trying to use them nothing is restored.
I can find the last backup and access the compressed folders to see the files within them. Windows restore cannot.

can you move the backup files to another disk/device and then try from there?

HotCakeX&nbsp;Just tried that without success. The Recovery in this Insider version isn't even letting me choose the drive I put the backup on. I have to use Control Panel&gt; System and Security&gt; Backup and Restore (Windows 7) to even be able to select the drive.Under the Restore portion it tells me that 'Windows could not find a backup for this computer'.&nbsp;Then I can select the highlighted 'Select another backup to restore files from'.&nbsp;That opens a window with a bunch of old backups. If I try to browse network location I can get to the drive and the backup. I click on it and another window opens: 'Select the folder where you want to save the backup'.&nbsp;Under that is a window with 'Network' in it. But I can't select it or add anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;
