Are you absolutely sure that it is your full backup? I yes, what is your
JobID of this particular backup?

If you have a valid full backup on the volume then you are able to restore
any file from that backup/volume. You can use full backup jobid directly as
Kern advised.

As an alternate you can directly recover file from the this volume with
brestore utility.

Remember, as long as you have a volume/volumes with a backup(s) you can
recover data from.
