Hello, How can I restore or extract corrupt BKF files from devastation Windows bac The genesis of reading the format can be found here, in the form of mtftar program. http://gpl.internetconnection.net/ http://gpl.internetconnection.net/files/mtftar.tar.gz (source code) From the README "mtftar is most often used as a filter, as in: mtftar MyBackup.bkf | tar xvf - " And TAR format can be read by 7-ZIP, when you want random file access. Nobody would be using NTBACKUP any more anyway, as there are better things out there. Acronis will have taken a good portion of the market share, and people also have the option of using Macrium Reflect (free version) for doing backups. The crusty old bkfs aren't needed any more, except in poverty cases, and in poverty cases, the person can't afford any recovery software for their BKF, anyway. The market for a recovery software, would be vanishingly small. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp If I needed to recover my BKF, I'd just rework the MTFTAR code. HTH, Paul |

julia-hill typed: Hello, How can I restore or extract corrupt BKF files from devastation Windows bac AFAK there's really no way to do it unless you're really tekkie. I would hope you have more than one backup to rely on but it doesn't sound like it. Best to do a backup now while things still work at least and have something to rely on to get back to whatever case you're in now. Have you tried earlier System Restore Points? If I were you I'd get everythng that's data of any kind backed up and then reinstall windows, right from the beginning of deleting and recreating the partition/s, and then immediately back that up to a CDor DVD. Then reinstall your applcations, put your data back, and make another backup and keep it on a DVD. HTH, Twayne` |

Hello, How can I restore or extract corrupt BKF files from devastation Windows bac Unluckily there's not any manual solution to repair corrupt Windows BKF files. But you can try some third-party BKF recovery software. A wide range of BKF recovery applications are available on the Internet. You can check some of them.

It's a backup data file. It's an ancient backup format. Nobody needs it, because you can get a copy of Macrium Reflect Free, install it, and back up your computer to an external drive for safe keeping. Because there are *multiple* free backup tools for WinXP or later computers, we have absolutely no need to dabble in the old backup format that came with WinXP. Most backup software, uses VSS service on the computer (VSS is available on WinXP or later). That allows backing up the C: partition, while Windows is running (unlike the older Ghost software, where you rebooted to do the backup). I think even the built-in Windows Backup that came with WinXP can do that too. I've only tested it once, long enough to test a conversion software, that could convert a .bkf file to another format. That's the only time I played with the ancient way. So those spam messages, are selling a repair tool, for a backup scheme that nobody should be using any more. The thing is, some of the newer backup tools, they have their own conversion and viewing options, which are much more effective. For example, on Macrium, the tool itself supports .mrimg to .vhd conversion, as well as mounting any .mrimg file you click as if it was a disk drive. This gives you random access to the files inside the .mrimg. Acronis also makes software with this capability. Paul |

Regardless which OS I'm using, I never use backup software. I just copy everything to my backup drive. I do this about once a month, and have 2 backup drives, so I always have the prior backup. I'm aware that there are certain files which are part of Windows, which can not be backed up, but as long as I backup all my personal data, that is what matters. |
