Today’s computers are very alert; they create the backup files to allow him/her user to retrieve the precious data in case of any adverse situation. Backup is exactly a duplicate of the data stored on hard drive, flash drive or any other storage media. It maintains the purity of the data. To implement this Microsoft Windows provides an easy to use and powerful backup tool, known as NTBackup and this application is used to create backup. But sometimes the BKF file gets damaged due to missing catalog files or the backup set is not completely cataloged. In such double-trouble we cannot extract BKF files.

If we have created multiple BKF files in Windows 2000 systems with the help of multiple instances of windows 2000 NTBackup utility. After creating backup files when we wish to open these backup files then we have to face a critical problem. We find in the NTBackup that many catalog files are missing in the 'Restore' tab. Catalog files of BKF file allow the NTBackup utility to restore our crucial data from the BKF file. As a result of all this we are unable to open those files & searching a solution for corrupt BKF files.
Reason Behind the Error Message
The tooth root of the cause for the occurrence of such a miserable situation is that we have started more than two backup jobs at the same time. That is why only those catalog files which were created first is shown in the Restore tab. This behavior occurs because more than one backup job started at the same time, so they share the same timestamp attribute.
NTBackup tool creates catalog files for every BKF file and store these files in the following folder:
C:\DocumentsandSettings\AllUsers\ApplicationData\Microsoft\WindowsNT\NTBackup\catalog
These catalog files are shown under the Restore tab of NTBackup utility, so whenever we want to restore any file we can do it.
