Missing dataset from backup

$

I am using a Rackspace account and it use MSSQL 2012 (11.0.3000).  I have used my local SSMS to backup the database and the MyLittleBackup application they have which seems to use the standard backup methods to backup. This goes fine and I am able to download the BAK file.

For testing new applications I would like to restore it to my local instance of SQL Express (11.0.3128). (it is a small DB)

From the GUI I select restore database, device, add file... after adding the file the database list is empty.  If I attempt to restore using the online software to the Rackspace database it shows one backup set.

Since I routinely restore full server backups to my local system I assume that is possible or has something changed?

Any suggestions on why I can't restore the backup using my local system?
