The advancing technology has gifted us tremendous storage capacity. To fulfill their data storage requirements, people today are relying heavily on hard disks with storage space of more than 1 TB.

Infact, we have external storage devices as well, to save our data. With so much space at our disposal, we take extra precautions of safeguarding our data against various threats. For this, Windows users have the option of using NTBackup, which is a backup utility in Windows NT (2003 Server, XP, 2000) systems. NTBackup backs up the data in the form of BKF files. However, sometimes the BKF files can get corrupt. It may be due to sudden system crash while backing up, CRC errors, missing catalog files, etc. In this case of BKF file corruption, you should use a BKF repair tool to perform BKF recovery.

Consider a scenario wherein you are adding data to a BKF file in the Incremental mode when there is an abrupt system shutdown. When the power is restored, you try to open the BKF file but are unable to do so.

Cause:
You are not able to open the BKF file to restore data because it got corrupt. Corruption of BKF file occurs due to abrupt shut down of the system, when the process of data backup was in progress. Because of this, the BKF file is now inaccessible and cannot be used to restore the data.

Resolution:
If you do have the data for which you were creating a backup, then you can execute the NTBackup utility again to create a fresh backup. Windows does not provide you the option to repair BKF file. So, as a last resort, you need to consider using a third-party BKF repair tool to recover the corrupt BKF file. These tools employ fast but sophisticated algorithms to scan the damaged area to successfully repair BKF file. These read-only tools are highly interactive and do not require the user to be highly technically sound.
