Anyway to use a Backup file created in XP?

Jun 24, 2007 2:43AM PDT

In XP, I used the Backup utility to make a backup of My Documents to my external HDD. The file was transferred into Vista, but it will not open within Vista. Is this file now useless or is there a program that can open this backup file?
