Backup files that are stored and made available in specific, proprietary formats, such as those offered under Windows NTBackup, as well as Symantec Veritas backup utilities, can and will have specific characteristics that will impose a more intricate usage regime. Things can become even more complex when such files undertake unwanted changes, which can result in data corruption, which can render them unusable and unfit for further data storage.

Attempting to prevent such issues and aspects that might derive from them, Bitrecover BKF Repair was created specifically in order to offer users the means to scan and recover or restore corrupted BKF format backup files. Aside from BKF, the application also supports ZIP format archives and features two main working modes, one for quick scanning and one for more advanced recovery.

The quick scanning mode is intended to be used when faced with less severe errors in the BKF files, and its main characteristic is that of a shorter process timeframe. The more advanced recovery scanning mode, on the other hand, can be used for deeper scans, which can be used when dealing with damage that can pertain to the actual ZIP archives contained within the BKF backup files themselves.
