Microsoft
Windows facilitates you a built-in backup utility named as NTBackup.
With the help of NTBackup, you can create and maintain the backup of
your crucial files like Exchange Server data on another drive of your
system or on some other data storage media in the form of .BKF file.
However, if your data storage media or hard drive partition is
formatted in FAT file system, then you may encounter BKF file
corruption due to size limit. FAT (especially FAT32) file system
based data storage devices can store BKF file of only 4GB in size and
if your BKF in FAT exceeds this limit, then it gets corrupt and you
may get an error message while adding new data or restoring data from
it.
Let us
understand it with a practical example. Suppose, you have FAT32 file
system based external hard drive on which you have created the backup
of your Exchange Server data through NTBackup utility. The size of
your Exchange BKF file increases with time as you keep on adding new
data, and another day when you tried to add some new files to it, you
encountered the below mentioned error message:
“[Insert
media]
The fixed
media is full. You cannot Back Up all of the specified data to this
disk device.
The backup
operation will stop.”
This error
occurs because of the exceeded size of your Exchange BKF file, which
is 4GB for FAT32 formatted storage media. To prevent this error from
occurring, it is recommended to create the backup on NTFS file system
formatted data storage device or NTFS formatted hard drive partition.
However, in this situation, when you got this error message and lost
all your precious Exchange Server data, use of a professional Exchange BKF recovery software is recommended.
Reliable Exchange BKF recovery software efficiently repairs Exchange BKF
files, recovers corrupt .EDB, .STM, and .Log files from the backup.
If you do not know the location of your BKF file, then it enables
searching of this file in a specific drive or volume and lets you
recover data from large BKF files (as in this case). Moreover, you
can save the scan information in a .txt file and use it to start the
recovery process at any later time. The log report created by an
effective Exchange BKF recovery tool enables you to keep the
track of all the activities performed by the application.
Additionally for any future reference, you can save this log file in
.txt format as well.
