Which rom/kernel/cwm version?
Did you tried restore old rom (eg. you are on ics rom but want restore gb backup?) Please write some details...

So you made a backup from stock rom (ics?) with stock kernel. And you want restore it? Is this the same firmware as you currently running?
did you renamed the backup? CWM writes something in the restorte process? e.g md5 mistmach or something else?
If you made a backup from gb rom you can't restore it with ics kernel, because cwm can't restore the kernel.

On cwm when try to restore gives you a status 7 error or something like that?

Friend one thing you have to remember that while restoring old rom you have to remember that you need to flash the same kernel on which you have taken the backup as your problem is rom kernel mismatch. For stock rom try Rage kernel

Restore like this:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Format system
Wipe dalvik cache
Restore
Be sure you have not renamed backup or any file related to cwm

Yes Ajay74 is right, your problem is kernel ROM mismatch. On all Xperia 2011 devices (and before) there is no separate partition for recovery and it usually lives in the boot partition and recovery cannot back up the partition where it lives. So the kernel is not backed up and restoring a back up will not restore the kernel that made the back up.
