Hi;

This functionality is only available in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, through applying the following hotfix:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974674

As far as I know, this functionality is not available in Windows Server 2012.

BKF is file format for Windows backup archives. Microsoft has added NTbackup.exe utility in MS Windows XP or other versions, that can store some or entire partition data in a BKF folder. Windows Backup files may be damaged due to virus codes, corrupt storage device and broken download. To restore all items from a inaccessible BKF file, you should try third party application such as RecoveryFix for BKF software. This software fully supports recovery of Unicode characters from backup archives.

Thanks

As we all are know NT-Backup utility tool is a Microsoft program which has been designed to save crucial data by creating BKF files and maintaining the information for restoration purpose. Most of time it may happen that BKF files either go missing or become completely inaccessible in case of any type of corruption and user may become frustrated due to inability of opening corrupt BKF files for data restoration purpose. At this time of corruption i recommended you best BKF Recovery Tool from SysInfoTools which helps you fix corrupt BKF files and recovers data from them.
