Users migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7 or Windows 8 thinking that users will restore backup file and get back all the old data readily. But unfortunately they couldn’t, this is because the newer versions of Windows including 7 and 8 do not support restoration of backup file.

Win7 has image system for backup and Win8 has File History system and backup applications of Win7 and Win8 are completely different from NTBackup utility and it also do not restore backup file of Windows XP NTBackup utility.

In both scenarios you will require some external help to provide a platform to restore backup file, BKF Repair is recommended for such restoration as it will provide restoration of backup file even if it is corrupted and supports Windows 7 & 8 OS as well.
