    Hi,

    I am not posting irrelevant information.

    If you check OP has donwloaded and tried ntbackup.exe and not the ntbackup restore utility(NtBackupRestore_x86.msi).

    These are two diff things.

    For reading/restoring older backups, Microsoft has made available the NTBackup Restore utility for Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 [3] and for Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 [4] which can only read BKF files.

    Because file backed up using previous version of ntbackup can't be restored in vista & later version.

    So i thought trying restore utility might work for him.

    Shouldn't you be consulting Microsoft rather than posting your problem here? This forum is for BE not NTBackup
