Right now, I am using windows 7 operating system and now want to restore old windows XP BKF data in windows 7 platform. Is it possible with any backup application?

...anyways, Windows 7 is not supported as a media server for any version of Backup Exec. Best bet is to load a workstation with Windows XP and restore the *.bkf files with that. And this is all assuming you're using Backup Exec in the first place.
Thanks!

Hello Rosemarry,
If you performed a backup with Backup Exec then all you need to do is to restore that .zip file.
Note: Backup Exec is NOT a tool to recover corrupted .zip files. It is a backup/restore application.

...is this a troll effort like in he Online Backup section where everybody starts posting about zip recover solutions?
Not being funny...

...so this question has moved from being a query about how to restore a zip file to how to restore Windows XP *.bkf files?
I've seen this query on the Online Backup section too where people trolled their various non-Symantec products.
Are you asking a serious, legitimate question here?
