Restoring data from a corrupted BKF file in Windows 2000

In the Windows NT (Windows Server 2003, XP, and 2000) systems, you have got the option to use the NTBackup utility that helps you in creating backups in the form of BKF files. It is very handy when you lose your valuable data because of any which reason because you can then restore the data using the same tool itself. However, sometimes it may happen that the BKF files, too, get corrupt thereby making you to panic. In such cases, you should look for the updated backup of the lost data. If the backup is not updated then you should use a third-party BKF repair tool to repair BKF file.

Consider a scenario wherein you regularly backup your Windows data using the NTBackup utility in incremental mode. When day while you were adding some data in the already created BKF file, you were unable to do so. An error message is displayed, that is:
“[Unrecognized Media]
The backup file is unusable. You must erase it, or choose another file.”

After facing such error message, the only thing that you can do is to click the OK button to close the message box.
Cause:
The root cause of this abnormal situation is that the BKF file has got corrupted and, thus, is not in a valid Windows 2000 backup file format.

When Windows 2000 opens a BKF file, it examines the file to ensure that the file is a proper BKF file. If the file is damaged or incomplete, then NTBackup is unable to add any further data or restore the backed up data from it.

Resolution:
There is no option in Windows systems to repair a corrupted BKF file. However, you can take some precautions to ensure that such slip-ups do not happen in the future. You should review the backup reports regularly and always check the Application Event logs if you have to perform unattended backup operations.

However, to repair BKF file you need to use a third-party BKF recovery software to restore the inaccessible data. Such BKF repair tools are extremely safe to use that help you in getting back the valuable data from various storage media.

How to restore BKF files from Windows 2000 using a USB drive

NTBackup is a utility in the Windows NT systems that is used to create routine backups of valuable data in the form of BKF files. You can take the backup in various modes such as differential, incremental, etc and in various storage media as well. However, sometimes the BKF files fail to restore leaving you in the middle of nowhere as you may not be having any other copy of the BKF file to rely on. Such situations can occur due to various reasons such as power outages, interruptions during backup process, virus infections, etc. In such cases, you should repair BKF file using a third-party BKF repair tool.

Consider a scenario wherein you have a Windows 2000 system. You are trying to restore a BKF file in a USB drive. But, you are not able to restore the BKF file as the following error message is getting displayed:

“Required Media Missing
The next media required in the active family is not currently on-line.
Please insert the media:

Name_of_backup_media, media #0

or click Cancel to stop the current operation.”

You get this error message even when you provide the correct media. When you click Cancel, then the following error message is displayed:

“Drive Error
The device reported an error on a request to mount the media.
Error reported: Unknown error.
There may be a hardware or media problem.
Please check the system event log for relevant failures.”

Cause:
One of the main problems for this situation is that you are trying to restore the BKF file using a USB tape drive that uses the USB storage driver (Usbstor.sys). When this storage driver is used, it faces the I/O queuing issues that result in failed restoration process. The other reason for this problem is that the BKF file is corrupt.

Resolution:
To resolve this problem, check if you have the copy of the data of which you took the backup. If yes, then you can use that data. Or else, you should download and install Windows XP Service Pack 2 as a hotfix for this problem. Now, try to restore the BKF file using the NTBackup utility.

However, if the BKF file is still not getting restored then chances are that the BKF file is corrupt. To restore the BKF file, you should use a third-party BKF recovery software to repair BKF file. These BKF repair tools are read-only in nature that do not overwrite the original data.
