DBF if an underlying file format that is world-widely used to store structured data in many applications, such as, dBase, MS Visual FoxPro, etc. The file format is mainly related to 'database' and in most cases can be opened in in MS Excel and MS Access. A DBF file contains a header section (.ndx file for dBase application) to describe the structure of its stored information.

Corruption or damage of DBF files can occur due to several reasons, including file header damage, MS Visual FoxPro or dBase malfunction, operating system corruption, or file system damage. In most cases of DBF file corruption, an error message pops up when you try to open the file. This error message does not allow the file to open, further resulting in inaccessibility of all its stored information. In such situations, an adequate backup allows you to restore the data.

Backup files are mainly created on some other storage media to ensure complete safety of the data. But there are always some probabilities of backup files getting corrupted or damaged due to various external or internal reasons. In such backup file corruption scenarios, the user is left with no option, but to use an advanced third-party DBF repair tool to repair its corrupt DBF file.
