How can repair corrupted Dbase Database through DBK File

Dbase contains two type of files- DBF & DBK files. DBF file contains fields and records in tabular forms.

Now here I am explaining use of DBK file.

The .DBK file format is a DBASE database backup file created by dBASE automatically. It is very important because it contain all the database backup.

Function

A DBK file is an exact copy of a database that was created using dBase. You can save this file to your hard drive, to an external hard drive, or to a CD or DVD.

Benefits

If your original dBase file i.e. DBF has been damaged, or if you make a large error that cannot be easily fixed, you can use the DBK file to restore your database.


Point that should be remember when you maintain DBK file

Because DBK files are not automatically created every time you make a change, it is important you save DBK files periodically, especially if you make a large change to your database. This way, if you suffer a loss of data, you are able to restore the file using an up-to-date copy.

But Most of the users don't remember this point & suffer with data loss problem. At this time they lost DBF file as well as DBK file.

If you experience an error message trying to load a DBK file, there might be a problem with the program. In such a case, reinstalling dBase might fix the issue.

But some time we can not open DBK file even we reinstall Dbase. At this time we don't have DBF file as well as DBK file. Both files get corrupted than we recover our database by using Third party recovery tools. These tools recover our database even our both files DBF & DBK get corrupted.

Before purchasing these DBF Repair Tool first download its demo version & check the preview of your database.
