What do you mean by this?  You do a restore and the files do not show up?

If so, are you:

* looking on the restored-to-host?
* looking in the restore-to-diredtory?

If the problem is you cannot select the files, try restoring the entire job.

We will take your word for that, given we don't know how old the backups are.
