I'm using Windows XP Pro and I have an incremental backup on an external hard
disk. I've tried to restore from it but the only otion given is to restore
from the oldest backup set.

When I open the bkf using the NTBackup utility, it does not seem to
recognise the latest two backup sets (of 3 I think).

Any ideas how I can restore the latest set?

Note that I have a demo version of a BKF recovery program that does seem to
recognise the hidden sets, but it costs quite a lot to buy it and I guess
there is no guarantee it can actually restore the data.
 
An old post, perhaps you've solved it, but anyway you need to restore the
whole lot to a temporary folder, then extract what you want.

BTW, let this be a salutary lesson on the hidden dangers of using
special-format backups. For disk-to-disk backup anyway, I would always advise
the use of systems which backup in a 'visible' file format.

Cobian Backup and Lazy Mirror are recommended.
 
It’s tough to handle the situation when backup files get corrupt. But no need to worry anymore! Use Kernel for BKF and recover files and folders from corrupt BKF archives. All BKF files created with Backup Exec by VERITAS software, under Windows, Novell and Macintosh are fully supported by this software. To clear your doubts regarding software functionality, download and try demo version from http://www.bkffilerepair.org/
