I recently had a Windows 2003 Server running on almost 10 year old hardware finally took a dive to the point of no return. Due to this I had to learn how to crack into a .bkf file and restore some files, but that apparently isn't as easy as you might think from a Windows 10 PC. So below is my findings on how to go about doing this.

Let's get to Work!
