Saving Multiple Win7 System Images to Same External Drive

I'd like to use Windows 7's built in Backup to put a System Image of several computers onto a 2TB external hard drive. If I put more than one image on the same media it puts them in separate folders(by computer name) under a folder on the drive. That's what I want, but when I go to Restore to see if it will work I only see a choice to restore one of the computers. Anybody know how to make this work?
 
Windows is really stupid like that. What you should do after you make the image of the machine, is rename the WindowsImageBackup folder to something else (you can even use the name of the machine again), and then when it's time to restore rename the folder of the image you need to WindowsImageBackup.

You can also move every image that is not the one you need to restore, out of the WindowsImageBackup folder, if you don't want to do the renaming chore.
