What happens when you go into the Backup Exec program and open the bkf there?  Instead of using the Windows backup?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Hi,<br />
We have two Backup Exec servers in our organisation, 11d in the head office and 12.5 in one of the branch offices.<br />
<br />
Every week we copy the bkf files from the previous nights backups onto removable media by copying the files from the backup to disk folders and take them offsite to the branch office.<br />
<br />
What is therefore needed to acheive correct restores of this data on the BE 12.5 server? Do I have to create mirror B2D folders on the branch server or is there another method?<br />
<br />
When I click on the .bkf files and open win backup I get the error &quot;&nbsp;U:(or B:) is not a valid drive or you do not have access&quot;<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

How do I restore bkf files in Backup Exec?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
