Here is a walkthrough with screenshots on how to restore Windows XP NTBackup’s BKF archives in Windows 7, using Microsoft’s Windows NT Backup Restore Utility. Note that our earlier article on How to Restore .BKF files Using NTBackup in Windows 7 and Windows Vista still works. You’re free to choose whichever method you find easier.
1. Download and Install the Windows NT Backup Restore Utility for Windows 7.
2. Start the Windows NT Backup Restore Utility (via Start menu, Programs, Accessories, System Tools.)




Normally the files are restored to the original location. If you need to specify an alternate location, click the Advanced button

Click Finish.
To configure advanced options (Restore security / Restore Junction points / Preserve Volume Mount Points), click the Advanced button. To continue with the defaults, simply click OK.


The BKF image is now restored to the original location, or to the folder specified.
