I have several backups on an external hard drive. I am about to reformat
my
pc and decided to test the backups I did regularly with the windows backup
utility. They do not work. I am getting error messages saying file
contains
unrecognized data and cannot be used. When I click ok at that error, it
comes
up with a dialog box to check file location. It says the backup file
cannot
be found or is not the file requested. I saw a few posts that suggesting
just copying the entire .bkf file. How does one do that? The only way to
see that file is in the backup program. If I right click on the file, it
just says catalog or delete catalog. I can see all the files within each
backup but I cannot restore them. It's very frustrating as it would seem
that windows would have been able to perfect their backup system by now.
I
have installed carbonite on all my pc's now. But I would really like to
get
this reformatting going and the carbonite is going to take a while to
complete. Thanks in advance.


Not likely MS is ever going to come up with a good backup ...
use some 3rd party backup software
