Restoring backup from readyshare backup

Hi, thanks for your response.  Yes it is a 1TB drive that was attached to
the Router.  I did plug it into the PC and the files are all there, but the
Netgear (readyshare) backup, according to the tech that called me, can only
be restored if it is attached to the Router, (which of course was destroyed
in the fire),  I find that hard to believe, but I have tried a couple of
other backup programs and they do not recognize it as a backup.  I will be
purchasing a new Nighthawk eventually but not in the near future. 

 Thanks again.
