DC Bare Metal Backup Restore Nightmare

Hi all,

Today, our Server 2008R2 DC just stopped working and the whole network ground to a halt.

Seems something's trashed AD so after a couple of hours of trying to bring it back to life, I decide to go for the backup that was taken last night option. The backup was made with Windows Server Backup and was a full bare metal affair.  However, on trying to restore, it refuses to see the backup unless I create a share on the new server, and once it has found it, says there's no backup contained in the folder, despite the fact that I can see all of the backup files.  

Has anyone got any ideas as my Bank Holiday weekend is starting with an evening in the office and it's getting rather annoying.

Thanks,

Jools
