They are in folders as CountMike stated, but worse case, if for some reason you can't find them, most all file backups like this create partitions.
Launch a DOS Prompt as admin, then:
Type> diskpart
Type> select disk (the backup will probably be disk 1)
Type < select partition= (enter the number of the earliest partition(s))
Type > clean
> Type "exit" twice.
