Restore BKF

"I too was caught out by Windows 8 not being able to read the bkf files made by XP's ntbackup. If you have the files from an XP installation, you can follow the method shown here to retrieve the 3 files needed: ntbackup.exe, vssapi.dll, ntmsapi.dll



In my case, the Windows 8 installer put the XP Windows files, and others, in C:\Windows.old & the files required were in C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS\system32\.

Copy the 3 files somewhere (else you get dll errors), say to your home folder:

Run ntbackup.exe. Ignore the warning about Removable Storage. Ntbackup mostly works, though I wasn't able to save selections. There were errors in the log when restoring about not being able to create folders, but it looks like they were created anyway.



If you don't have an XP installation but do have an XP installation CD, you can do this:

1) copy ntbackup.ex_, vssapi.dl_ and ntmsapi.dl_ from the \i386 folder on the CD to your home folder.

2) Open a command (DOS) prompt

3) Run these DOS commands to expand the files

expand NTBACKUP.EX_ NTBACKUP.EXE

expand NTMSAPI.DL_ NTMSAPI.DLL

expand VSSAPI.DL_ VSSAPI.DLL
