Hi, I think you have created the back that you want to run on the Windows 7 can be run only by installing the a tool which is made for the same. You can only convert the back of the older version to the Windows 7 with help of "NTBackupRestoreOnlyVersion" which is made for the Windows 7 only. So download the same and you will be able to make the change that you wish to do. Thank you

use can use NTBackup to restore your files, and if you are not able to get the files back then probably your get corrupted and you need a special piece of software to recover your data from .BKF files.

Usually data recovery of your important data is a place to test your luck and recovery of your lost data is mostly depend upon the circumstances when or how it get corrupted.
