Known good backup set now failing to restore - help

$

I have a server 2008r2 (SBS 2011) USB drive with a backup on it I need to restore from a second time.
First restore worked.. But I screwed up and missed the second volume (data) and need to run the restore again. but it won't work now.

all attempts to 'see' the backup fail !
In fact WBADMIN says there is no backup there (mounted USB drive as i:)

C:\>wbadmin get versions -backuptarget:i:
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool

ERROR - No backup was found.

I have closely compared the files to other good backup and all the correct (as far as I can tell) folders, .XML, and VHD files are there.

The odd thing is I've already restored from this USB drive once already

Ignoring the fun and games to do this in a VM...

I mounted the drive through, booted from the DVD/ISO, selected repair and it ran..
Like a plank, I forgot to re-arrange the volumes, format the C and D and even restore the D drive.
So I need to do it again, but it won't.. the backup set that worked for a restore 3 days ago now says it's not there.

Does the restore process somehow kill the backup?
How do I get it back.
