I have the backup image but cannot figure out how to restore the image to a new databas? I tried to create an empty one but failed. Can this be done, does the backup have the table structures? I am lost any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Control Center should give you an easy option to create a new database from an existing backup. The backup includes everything, though there is a difference between an offline / online backup.
If you want to restore on a different machine, you may need to create a identical file path for it to be recognized as a valid backup.

Thanks for the response, it was very simple I just typed in "Restore Database from <device> at timestamp" and it recreated the entire database instance.
