@SimonAdept,
If that is the case, is there a way of creating a backup with later version and specifying an earlier format?
(Like a can create a word document using Office 2013 and save it in 2000/3 format..)
Actually I am performing those backups with 2008, while I need them restored in 2005.

@ All Experts,

So what you're saying is, I should do the following:
A-Restore the database from backup file in SSMS 2008
B-Run the wizard that generate scripts for re-creating that database including all data (also in 2008).
C-Run those scripts generated in SSMS 2005

Is that correct?

@pcelba,
What is considered large database? and how long can this process take for a DB of 3.5 GB? (not the log file).
Actually, what I am looking here is to restore a record accidentally deleted from a table, so I guess I can just select that particular table, and I will end up with a DB containing just that one table, correct?
