Windows NTBackup utility is the backup system included in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Originally, NTBackup has been designed to create and store scheduled as well as automated data backup to storage media like, Zip drives, floppy disks, and tape. But a third-party add-on called Firestreamer-RM extends its capability and makes it support various other storage media, including but not limited to CDs and DVDs. NTBackup files (BKF files) stored on these media are often observed as corrupt at the time of restoration. There are many user reports that state the corruption of BKF file, detected when the file was stored on a CD. Such circumstances necessitate the use of a well-designed MS BKF Repair Tool.
The above problem will be more clear by a corresponding real-time issue, described further. Consider a case of Windows user who uses Windows NTBackup utility to backup few important files on a CD. The files are critical and are required for a business deal. The user then deletes the original files from the computer to solve some system-related concerns and expects to restore them using the CD stored backup. However, when he/she tries to restore the BKF file, it seems to be inconsistent. Each time, when he/she attempts to restore the BKF file, it prompts the following or a similar error message on screen:
“The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.”
Note: With the creation of each BKF file, NTBackup creates a log file in NTBackup data folder that among other information, consists of the status of backup process. To prevent such problems, make sure that you check the consistency of your backup file after performing the backup itself.
Data Retrieval:
To retrieve the lost data, you can either use another copy of your lost files and folders, if available. If no such copy exists, you need to use a third-party Backup Repair Tool to repair and restore corrupted BKF file content. A MS BKF Repair Tool can scan corrupted NTBackup file and repair it while retaining its original integrity.
