Root
Cause for Such Errors:
This
error message is shown because your NTBackup utility restore program is unable
to identify .bkf file structure since it has been damaged badly. Corruption in
BKF causes file to get damaged to core, and hence it is not in valid Windows
2000 backup file format. When Windows 2000 opens a .bkf file, it first checks
if the backup file is valid or not. It means it checks if its structure in
valid Windows 2000 backup file format or not. In case file is damaged, it
throws error messages like: “The backup
file is unusable. You must erase it, or choose another file” and restoration process completely stops.
Precautions
for Backup Operations:
To
check integrity of a backup file, you can select “Verify data After Backup”
advance option while performing any backup operation. This option is provided
to make sure that backup process is completed successfully and integrity of
.bkf file and its structure is maintained. You can also check for backup report
to avoid any such kind of errors while restoring.

work. These error messages are symptoms that your .bkf file needs some
