When you perform the restore, you need to select the custom restore option,
meaning a restore from another computer.
If this still doesn't work, the workaround that many have successfully used is
to configure backup on the new PC to point to the same network Share. Create a
new backup - for the sake of efficiency, this backup can be of a single file
type. You can select to backup on Financial files, for example. Perform the
backup and then try the custom restore from the Share.
