How to restore an external device from Backup?

I have damaged an external device (a stick) and would like to restore the files on my MacBook from Backup. When I enter TimeMachine I cannot find the name of the external device. What do I have to do?

It is a memory stick. I did run disk utility. I have found it and could restore the lost information.

Thank you very much.

Best regards
