Hi

You probably have 2 backups in the single backup file.

Run

RESTORE HEADERONLY
FROM DISK="path and file name of your backup"

This will show you how many backups are in the file.

In Enterprise Manager, when you do the restore, you must make sure you
select the correct backup set that is listed on the screen.
