windows backup is not a simple copy, it puts everything( or everything that user has selected for backup) into one big dump that makes sense only to windows restore.
so the only way to look inside the backup is with the windows restore function.. but using that is is possible to search for / selectively restore only a file or files that you choose.
i suggest checking whether the actual book were backed up and restored OK - they should all be in My Documents/Calibre library - and if so, rebuild the library from those.
as to why stuff is "lost" is there any mismatch beteeen the clean fresh windows install, and the way things use to be e.g. did you setup with same user name as before. a change in log in name could explain things...
