Corrupt BKF file

We have a single back up from a dead server (that I accidently killed) and need get the .bkf file extracted. The thing is, it's corrupted. The only software that seems to be able to help us is BKFRecovery, but it's 400 dollars and we dont want to spend that.

 

Does anyone know of any free tools that can extract/fix corrupt bkf files?

 

Wayne.

 

P.S. I have been googling for the last 20 minutes but found nothing.

That'll teach you to back-up the back-up. And maybe back-up that just to be sure.

Try before you buy - http://www.datarecoverysoftware.co.uk/

 

We used one called ASR or software called something like Advanced Recovery. It didn't cost more than $100 but I can't find it on google.

 

'Proper' recovery firms charge a minimum 100EUR analysis and 1000EUR data recovery and as the drive is still spinning it looks like cheaper software could be your best bet.

Most of them provide a free demo so you can try first.
