Restoring a file from a previous set of backups

Hi all

Quick questions but i cannot find the answer anywhere.  I have had windows server backup running on server 2008 r2 on a schedule.  for some reason last week it started to fail.  No big issue, as i just deleted the schedule and re-created. During the recreation process where i set a new schedule it asks do i want to keep the previous backups on the external usb disk that i was using which i do.  

I've now come to the issue where i need to restore files from one of the previous backups but cannot.  The issue is the label for the disk has a date stamp in the label name, eg SERVER 2016_01_01 DISK_01 and the new schedule has renamed this location. so when trying to restore in the wizard, it can see the backups are there but when i choose to restore it thinks the disk is offline and not connected because the destination label is different despite the previous backups being on there.

How can i restore these older versions just because the label is different?  Any ideas?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Phill
