Dear ,
i have a set of BKF files stored on a disk and want to restore them using Backup Exec 12.5 or 2012 ( new server )
Any idea how to do it? I dont have the original server installed. I have a new server with all new catalogs .
is there a way to restore these files?
thank you

Hi,
You can run a Catalog job on those old *.bkf files.
Once done, select the correct date range and then run the restore.
Thanks!

Is this disk like a old B2D folder on an external HDD, if yes if could be imported as a Legacy B2D folder in BE 2012. Inventory, catalog and attempt to restore the data.
If these files were just coppied off from a B2D folder to to that disk, you might want to setup a New B2D folder either in BE 12.5 or 2012, copy the .bkf files in the folder location. Inventory, catalog and attempt to restore the data.

hi again,
i have a new BE server 12.5
i created a B2D on a shared storage.
i put all the .BKF files inside
inventory then catalog
I have around 100 . BKF file and each file is taking around 2 to 3 days to be done. Is that normal behavior
each BKF file is around 4 GB and the bytes counted is more than 150 GB for each
please advise
regards

i meant the time to catalog each BKF is taking this much long.
