    If backup exec does not know this BKF file exists , then you have to place the file in the folder for a disk stotage device (B2D in old terms)

    Then run an inventory and catalog job on the disk storage device to get the information about the BKF into Backup Exec.

     

     Then in the Backup Exec Console "Backup and Restore" section you should see an object representing the original server that was backed up which then gives you the restore option and a wizard to help find the individual files.

You mean to say the existing file in original location?

You can redirect the restore to different location from original, so that the original file will not get overwritten.
