ms sqlserver backup ext .bak not in the list

#1 Post by mess9000 »

hi

I am trying to undelete mdf, ldf and bak files from a drive. While mdf and ldf extensions are listed, bak files are not. Bak files are SQL server backup files. I am using Photorec 6.14.

Could anyone please let me know why and how i can overcome this? the procedure to add my own extension is not clear.

Thanks

They should be recovered as .bkf files
