Backup is the most important step to prevent data loss. An accurate and complete backup of your mission critical data helps you to restore data in case of data loss. In Windows systems you can easily create backup using NTBackup tool. NTBackup utility backs up data in the form of BKF (Microsoft Backup File) file. This file is used by NTBackup tool to restore data in case of any disaster. But in some situations, like operating system malfunction, virus infection, improper system shutdown, missing log files or catalog, application errors and more, this file gets damaged and restoration can not be performed. At this point, you need to carry out
bkf recovery to get your critical data back.
As a practical scenario, when you attempt to restore data from BKF file, CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error is reported. This error mostly occurs while restoring data from a BKF file that is saved over network.
This error message generally occurs in the below given situations:
If the BKF file has got damaged while transferring it from network to your system for data restoration.
The catalog and log files of BKF are missing and thus it has got corrupted. In this case, NTBackup can not recognize the file.
The CRC error is reported in the form of 32-bit integer. To sort out this issue and restore data from BKF file, follow the underwritten measures:
Remove the external data storage media like USB drive, which is attached to your system.
Replace the damaged BKF file from recent backup that was created on another storage device.
In case if none of the above methods work, the BKF file remains corrupted and you can not use it for data restoration. At this point, to gain access of your critical data, you need to carry out
bkf repair by sorting out this problem.
