Catalina upgrade and Time Machine

I recently upgraded to Catalina and am no longer able to restore from my backup. It seems Catalina renamed the backup file from sparsebundle to backup bundle. Prior to the Catalina upgrade I could pick and choose files to restore I am no longer able to do this. I have tried renaming the backup to sparse bundle but this does not work either. I know the information is within the file because of the size of it.

I do not see that on my Macs.
