  • The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.

  • The backup file is unusable. You must erase it, or choose another file.

  • An inconsistency was encountered on the requested media.

Cause:

NTBackup creates catalog files for every completed BKF file and stores it in the following location:

“SystemRoot\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\catalogs51”

The catalog files are listed in the “Items to restore” section from where you can select the respective file to restore. When you create multiple backup at the same time, the catalog files share the identical “timestamp”attribute, which leads to ambiguity in the catalog files. As a result, the catalog files of the bkf files that are not created and, thus, are missing.

Resolution:
