you don't need to specify the filesystem type, it should auto detect. 
If it does not, you can try the type iso9660, but usually if it didn't 
auto detect you have bigger problems..

mount /dev/cdrom /a/mount/point

I would also attempt to mount your .iso file to make sure you can read 
it as well

mount -o loop /Backup/mybackup.iso /a/mount/point

see if you can read the filesystem and it correctly represents what it 
should.

umount /a/mount/point
to unmount.
