How i restore backups from .BKF?
Everyday the veritas backup exec send files to a NAS and NAS to a External Media.
Veritas JOB>NAS>External HDD
The only media add on DEVICE TAB is the NAS with fresh files.
I need to restore the .BKF files on my External Medias. but its so complicated, when i try to add the External Media to DEVICE TAB, the veritas show a warning message to format my disk.
how to restore the .BKF files correctly?

Is/was the external drive off the NAS encrypted ?
Is sounds like BE can't determine or access the file system of the external drive.

is a external drive off the NAS, not encrypted.
i try this:
1) Copy BKF files to a B2D (Backup-to-Disk) folder.
2) Perform inventory on the folder
3) Run a catalog job on the BKF files.
4) Once catalog job completes sucessfully open restore window to view the contents of BKF files.
but the backup set its expired.
i can see the files, but cannot restore.

You should not be copying/backing up the .bkf files from your NAS. See the article below

If you need another copy of your backup set, then duplicate it.
