The backup file is unusable. You must erase it, or choose another file.

OK is my only option.

When I try to restore from a backup, I get the error above. I REALLY need to recover this backup.

Technet Q269826 says that Windows 2000 backuputilities cannot read it. Does anybody know of any third party utility that may be able to open this file?

Thanks

Actually *.bkf files should recover in Win2000 as well.

See if you can (by using a command line) copy the file to the hdd. Then see if you can recover the files/folders you need.
