When you took the backup, you striped it across two files, not one. If the backup was taken from management studio and there were two files listed in the backup destination, the backup went to both, not the selected one.
To restore this you need both backup files.

on the source server, run the following script to find out where your back files are:
select database_name,backup_start_date,physical_device_name
from msdb.dbo.backupset bs
inner join
msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily bmf
on bs.media_set_id = bmf.media_set_id
where database_name = <your db name>
order by backup_start_date desc
