restoring windows 7 system backup to a usb drive

I am having a heck of a time with this.  I made regular backups of my old window 7 files.  I have a new computer with windows 8.  When transferring my windows files on the initial setup (this was a new computer), I lost some recent outlook.pst, and archive.pst files.  I have a zipped file call "Backup set 2014-01-05 0400000".  I am trying to get access to this file.  It is a directory for 102 backup files.  It allows me to extract them, but it doesn't put them in original large size files, like they were.  In other words.  When I extract, it may give me 50 archive.pst files.  I tried to put the file on a blank 1TB drive and unzip each individual backup file.  That is when it gives me all of the individual outlook.pst and archive.pst.  I would like my original files.  Is there any way to restore this complete file to the 1TB USB drive.  If not, can it be done by plugging into a USB drive on a windows 7 computer?  Thanks in advance.
