Corrupted Log File results in BKF file Damage

NTBackup is an inbuilt tool that enables you to save the backup of your critical data in Windows NT and above (NT core) systems. In addition to hard drives, this tool also provides you an option to save Microsoft BKF (Backup File) files in variety of storage media like CD, DVD and USB Flash drives. With the creation of every BKF file, this backup tool also creates a log file. From Windows NT to Windows 2003, this log file gets created at “Drive Letter:Documents and SettingsAdministratorLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftWindows NTNTBackupdata”. NTBackup keeps record of all the information processed during the backup operation as a log file.

This log file may get corrupted due to improper system shutdown, operating system corruption, file system issues, software bugs and virus infection. Once the NTBackup log file is corrupted, you can not restore the backup using BKF file. In such situations, you need to recover the lost data from an updated backup with copies of all the affected files in BKF file. However, if there is no such backup available, you need to recover the BKF file by using advanced Microsoft Backup File Repair application.

Consider a practical case where you have created a script file that creates backup as BKF file after every seven days. A backup log file automatically gets created with the creation of every BKF file. However, when you attempt to access the backup file, you encounter an error message indicating corruption. To prevent such issues, you need to follow these steps:

· Keep at least two backup copies of your critical data, preferably on secondary storage media as external hard drive or flash drive

· Install a good quality antivirus or security suite on your system and keep it up-to-date with real time scanning enabled
