Can't Restore Server From Anything But Current Backup

$

Hi all,

 

I want to restore my server from a server backup from last October. That was when the Dashboard would still launch (hasn't worked since). I have nightly scheduled server backups going back more than a year. Does anybody know how to get either of these two restore methods to work?

 

Recovery Console...

 

But when I boot with the install DVD and go into the Recovery Console, I only see the last "current" backup taken just a couple of days ago. And the screen titled, "Select the date and time of system image to restore" has only this one recent backup. How can I see the older backups?

 

Windows Server Backup...

 

In WHS, I was able to restore from last October using the Windows Server Backup tool. I restored both the "Operating System" and the 100MB "Operating System Reserved" volumes to a new drive. Then I detached the old system drive and tried booting with the restored drive. The restored system would not boot. Is there a way to make it bootable?

 

Thanks,

Robert
