the backup file is unusable!

[fletch99]

I have a client who's hard drive crashed.
A disaster recovery house can not get the data off the Hard Drive.

The backup is my only hope. When I try to restore I get.

"The backup file is unusable"

1. Is there a Work around?
2. Any tools to extract some of the Files?
3. Any company that can fix the corrupt backup file?
