I was installing new windows and mistakenly i formated complete hdd and i lost all the backups after installation i recovered all the backups with a recovery software(Get Data Backup NTFS) but now when i am restoring the backup in sql it is prompting an error (The media family on [microbanker_019001_20110319.bak file] is incorrectly formed.SQL Server cannot process this media family. RESTORE HEADER is terminating abnormally. (Error 3241)."

Backup's damaged and not recoverable. Sorry, but there's no magic fix for this.
