Restore backup directory empty

$

Hi there, looking for some help. will try and setup my question as straightforward as possible!

I have sharepoint 2010 foundation running on a domained, windows 2008 standard R2 SP1 server.

Have taken a full farm backup, and it along with others is visable in the backup directory folder i created, when i go to "CA/Backup and Restore/Restore from backup"

Running a virtual machine on my own pc, with the exact same windows 2008 standard R2 SP1, and sharepoint foundation version.

I have copied the backup file from the sharepoint server, to my virtual machine, however when i go to the restore from backup function, and select the directory with my backup, i get a message saying the directory is empty and there are no backups. 

The other thing to add is the virtual machine is not domained, would this be the reason why i cant see the backups.

Many thanks for any assistance.
