If you're wanting to recover one file out of the backup, then Windows
7 backup SHOULD allow you to do that:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/Restore-files-from-a-backup

You can restore backed-up versions of files that are lost, damaged, or
changed accidentally. You also restore individual files, groups of
files, or all of the files that you've backed up.

Open Backup and Restore by clicking the Start button , clicking
Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking
Backup and Restore.

Do one of the following:

To restore your files, click Restore my files.

To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or Browse
for folders.

When you're browsing for folders, you won't be able to see the
individual files in a folder. To view individual files, use the Browse
for files option.

To search the contents of the backup, click Search, type all or part
of a file name, and then click Search.

If you're searching for files or folders associated with a specific
user account, you can improve search results by typing the location of
the file or folder in the Search for box. For example, to search for
all JPG files that were backed up, type JPG in the Search for box. To
only search for JPG files associated with the user Bill, type
C:\Users\Bill\JPG in the Search for box.

You can use wildcard characters such as *.jpg to search for all JPG
files that were backed up.
