How to Restore BKF Files in Vista after Switching from an Older Version to Vista?

In 1997, Windows introduced a built-in backup command in Microsoft Windows NT that was thus called NTBackup. This backup utility became a part of all subsequent Windows versions up to Windows XP. NTBackup makes use of a proprietary backup format (BKF) to save the backed up files. These files can also be backed up to ZIP drive, floppy drive etc. Advancement brings with it a constant thing which is “CHANGE” i.e. a fixed thing associated with advancement is the non-fixed CHANGE. Thus, in Windows Vista and later versions, NTBackup was replaced with another backup utility called “Windows Backup and Restore Center” which makes use of Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file format and does not support BKF. It supports the backup to various modern media like DVDs etc.

Many issues rose due to this CHANGE. When the people using older Windows versions switched their Operating System to Vista, they couldn’t restore BKF files in Vista. The problems were grave because backup data is highly important for every user. Acknowledging these issues, Microsoft made NTBackup supported by Vista and made it possible to read/restore older backups (BKF) in Vista. Unlike before, now it is possible for the users to read and restore BKF files in Vista also. Presently, this utility can only be used on Vista and Windows Server 2008 but not on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. This is because it depends on Removable Storage Manager, a component which is removed in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems.

A great advantage for Vista users who have upgraded from earlier version to Vista and who need to restore BKF file Vista, can now do that easily by using a good Windows Vista backup recovery software tool. A software tool that can be a Vista BKF reader and can easily read Vista BKF file to restore BKF Vista immaculately and much to the user satisfaction will be the ideal solution. One such tool for perfect Vista BKF restore is SysTools BKF Repair software.

Extracting BKF Files from a Corrupted Computer Laptop

Imagine a situation where a person using a laptop with Windows XP for the past many years faces a serious technical problem and laptop corruts suddenly. If he had been using the Windows backup utility to save his data in .bkf files, then the question that would haunt him now would be – How to extract his BKF data from the corrupted laptop? Now, another action of the user that further complicated the matter was the purchase of an all together different platform not recognizing or dealing with BKF. The only possible solution for transferring the old BKF files onto the new machine that could occur to any normally thinking person is by procuring a clone/dummy PC laptop to restore the old .bkf files and then manually copying all the required files to save/move them back onto the external hard drive, and then finally hopping them over to the newer computer platform. This whole process seems totally tedious, tiresome and crazy! Surely users tend to find some other easier way to go about it.

If any person had been backing up his data on Windows OS backup and then shifted to a non-Windows platform, then he will not be able to restore that BKF data because those files are specific to only Windows and will not work on a non-Windows platform. One easier way out can be to install XP on the new system (non-Windows platform) and then restore all required data to the installed XP and thus have full access to all the crucial files.

But, if a user is restrained to spend money on Windows XP, then how to extract BKF files from the old system and how to save them on the new system? In such scenario, the user has a cost-effective way of extracting BKF files is by using a Windows Backup recovery software tool to repair BKF files and to extract BKF data one any available system with Windows environment and then put it on a Flash drive to transfer to the new platform that he has purchased. This can be done at a comparatively lower price than that spent in purchasing Windows XP.

One promising software solution that has the potential of being the most helpful tool for BKF recovery is SysTools BKF Repair.
