Nowadays security is the most important factor for all of us. People secure their belongings so that they can prevent their data from loss or damage. Similarly for a computer user, the invaluable thing is the computer data. We can’t tolerate any type of damage or data loss. Therefore it is necessary to use a backup technique so that we can avoid such type of issue.

Backup is necessary for all as it creates backup copies of our computer data which is known as BKF. These backup files can be stored anywhere in your system or in some eternal storage devices. This backup files are very useful when there is a sudden loss of data or your data gets corrupt. When data loss situation occurs, then we can use BKF file to restore all the data from it. Therefore the two most popular backup exec programs are: NT-Backup and Symantec backup Exec. NT-Backup is the Windows Backup Utility and comes as built in backup application in Microsoft windows. We get different backup technique in Windows Vista “Backup and Restore” and in Windows 7; it requires to download NT-backup manually from the internet.

The next one is Symantec Backup Exec program which is commercial software application that is developed by Symantec.  NT-Backup Exec program is also used to create backup files of Microsoft Exchange server. Whereas Symantec Backup Exec has the ability to create files of take backup of both MS Exchange Server and also SQL server.

Backup is considered as the most useful and helpful for all but due to some reason, it may create some troubles. The only then which is bad in backup is that it prone to corruption. This corruption can take place anytime and can infect the complete backup file. Therefore BKF file can also get corrupted due to various reasons. The reasons are: due to virus attack on the backup files or folder or drive where the BKF file is saved. When virus attacks, it may damage file by overwriting or deleting some part of it. Sometimes unexpected system shutdown happen while creating or restoring the backup file, then also your BKF file may get corrupt. It may also happen that the storage media in which we have saved the BKF file gets crashed and because of this “Storage media malfunctioned”, the saved BKF files may take place and it may result in corruption or become inaccessible. BKF file stores all the information related to data and the files such as: size, file name, path or location, date and time etc. Situation like “missing of catalog file” may take place and it may result a corrupt or invalid BKF file. All these are the most common reasons behind the backup file corruption. And due to this reasons, you may receive some errors like:

• “Backup Exec 11de000fe36- Corrupt data encountered”
• “CRC failed” error
• “An inconsistency was encountered in the requested backup file”
• “The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.”

All the mentioned above errors takes place when corruption occurs. Therefore it is necessary to remove these errors from corrupt BKF file.
