    *.BKF data recovery & file format information (NTBackup)

    Since my initial post I've learned quite a bit more. Most importantly, the proper name for this is the "Microsoft Tape Format", MTF. There is a brief review article at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;104223 However the full MTF specification which used to be...

    File system screwed up, how to recover?

    I've never worked with NTFS, but know a lot about the FAT32 file system, and at the level your system is messed up they are probably conceptually similar. Sorry if you know all this, but lets see. From what you say the directory is ok, ie still lists all your files, but the data in the files...

    Convert Executable back to Source

    bjverzal's reply is on target. You also need to know (I'm sure you do) the operating system. Almost all programs make OS dependant calls. In a MS or X Windows environment there are often dynamically linked libraries that do a lot of the work. Without knowing these calling conventions you...

    Can qic files be browsed?

    Hi: I recently got interested in this, and can probably tell you more than you want to know about the internal file format. I even typed some of it up since its not well documented. See http://home.earthlink.net/~will_kranz/msbackup.htm If its a file on disk or CDrom you can get at it, but if...

    Recover data from a .qic file

    Hi All: Are people still having trouble with this, or is it an old enough problem that it has been resolved. I notice some of the posts are a year old. I also notice some talk about Win95 and Win98 *.qic backups being incompatible. I'd be interested in that as Microsoft appears to claim they...
