Cannot associate .bkf after a backup on external hard drive

I am running Windows XP Home edition. I downloaded my Windows CD backup. I backed up my files to an external drive. It took 40 minutes, so I'm pretty sure they did backup. I can't access the files as it says they are .bkf files and have no association on my computer. What did I miss, or what more I have to do.

Ian

File type: Backup utility backup set
The BKF file type is primarily associated with 'Windows XP' by Microsoft Corporation.
For XP Home this utility is not installed by default. You must install it from the directory of the added value of your disc XP Home distribution. Once installed shows upward in the start menu. Programs | Menu accessories. If you make several backups a catalogue of these backups is kept on the hard drive in the folder \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\catalogs51.
If you have a backup file you want to recover files from and this file is not listed in the catalog, then the Windows backup program will not restore from this file, unless you delete the catalog. Then, with no other data to work from, Windows backup will recover the backup files.
There are many programs that you can download to extract BKF files, I do not use them because they are likely to have viruses. There are those who have a claim registry problem if there is no file association, DO NOT USE A REGISTRY REPAIR TOOL OF DIFFICULTY or PROBLEM!
Hope this can be useful

  • Backup on external hard drive problems...

    I can't backup to external hard drive, it starts and does not say "Device not ready" then I tried to back up my laptop outside even hard without any problem. Could it be, if I tried a different USB port on my desktop external hard disk... Any other ideas please...

    Concerning

    Have you tried another USB port (your post is unclear)?

    The external hard drive has its own power supply or just connect with a USB cable?  If there is no separate power supply, disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and see if that helps.

    The external drive shows in my computer?  If so, what happens when you double-click it?

    Don't show external drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If so, a drive letter is assigned? If so, what is reported to the layout, Type, file system and status?

    Only the external drive shows in Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to the title of "hard disks"?  If Yes, what is displayed when you double-click on and look at 'Device status' and 'Use of the device' in the general tab?

  • Backup to external hard drive on iCloud > > used internal hard disk space

    Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

    I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

    The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

    Thanks for any information you have.

    Data in iCloud cannot synchronize from an external hard drive.

  • backup to external hard drive, removal of the movies on computer?

    I want to know if I got back to the top of my itunes library on an external hard drive I can remove my itunes on my computer movies to save space on this subject? It is my friends computer and I don't want to take up space. And then I still see them on my apple TV if the movies are not on my internal hard drive?

    I am new to this and I wanted to know if my apple tv can stream after I deleted movies from my computer? I have no idea how it works, as far as I know I need to get back to the top of my purchases...

    Backup and deletion are not back up. Backup is always to have two copies of everything, preferably on completely separate players in different locations.

    In order to play something through iTunes, it must be added to iTunes.  You can add files from a separate iTunes drive and make them stay on the player by holding down the option key while adding, but there may be painful to see broken links if the drive is not attached when using iTunes constantly.

    You can listen to an AppleTV iCloud films apparently, but I can't provide details.  This should work for you, unless it's one of those elements is no longer in the Apple Store (and your reason to always make sure that you have a copy on your hard disks).

    It is a very useful device to have some kicking around when you need to get data on a drive that does more boot.

    You must get permission to access folders on the old disk to the new computer and this is how you do it.

    Download the zip on the site below...

    When you run the zip file, it places a new item in the right click menu called 'Take Ownership'

    To use it, you highlight the file or the folder on which you want the property, right click and select take ownership.

    Then a window will appear and many data authorizations through pretty quickly. When permissions have been granted, the window will close and you will be able to easily access data in the file or the first selected folder...

  • Impossible to change the location of backup to external hard drive

    * Original title: backup location

    I need to change the location of backup on an external hard drive (I).  When I go into Control Panel, backup and support, it seems that the location is currently (D).  To change this, I select 'change settings '.  Then, the computer opens a new window for "Set up Backup" and begins to launch.  However, whenever I try to do the answer comes back that the computer is unable to start the program because of the error (0 x 80080005) of running the server.  I don't know what to do from here.  Can anyone offer any guidance?  Thank you.

    Hi Janis,

     
    The probable cause of this problem could arise from the security of the software interrupt services to change backup settings.
     
    I suggest you follow the methods below and check if it helps:
     
    Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to change the backup location.
    Reference: turn off the antivirus software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If Mode 1 has not resolved the issue try MOde 2 which follows below:

     
    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to change the location of backup on your external hard drive again:

  • Moving after projects effect on external hard drive

    How can I move all of my After Effect projects and their associated files on my local drive on a hard drive so that in the future all the work of EI will be saved on the external hard drive?

    The easiest way is to use the service to collect files to put a single project in a separate folder, including a copy of the original project and then move that or as backup to an external drive.

    The other option is to duplicate your original files that contain assets in the project and copy it to an external drive and then open the project and recreate a link to missing images. The first option is easier.
