I'm getting the following error message when I try to restore a .BKF file created on a CD with the NTBACKUP application on Windows XP Professional:
"Unrecognized media
The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used."
I have two diffferent backups on two different CDs, each getting the same
error message. The backups completed successfully with no indication of a
problem.
My old hard drive crashed and I lost all the data (the local computer repair shop could not recover the files). I get the above error message when I run the "restore files" function from the Windows XP NTBACKUP application.
I tried to copy the .BKF file on the CD to my new hard drive and got this error message:
"Error copying file or folder
Cannot copy BACKUP: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"
Since the NTBACKUP backups completed successfully, I made the assumption (which was wrong, apparently), that the "restore" function would also be successful.
If I can't restore the two backup files on these two CDs, I will lose all my data, which is a very painful prospect. If anyone has any idea on how to restore the .BKF file or how to copy it to a hard drive (getting around the CRC error), please advise.
Thanks much.
