Data restore problem

Thread needs solution

Today, I restored my data from the previously backup using Acronis True Image 2014. The restoration seemed to be going well untill I found that all the restored files had "~" at the end of the file names. ALL of them had it, and I don't know why this happened, and also don't know how to remove it from the file name. As you can easily imagine, the number of files is huge, so I can't edit them one by one.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance for help!

You need to set folder/file options to show full path/file names.

You could use FlexRena84 to rename files in bulk, but the behavior is weird...

For Win 7

For Win 8 open explorer, click view tab, select "show file extensions" on right hand list.

Thanks Pat L, and thanks, Enchantech, but there seems to be some misunderstanding...
It is not the windows system that shows the file name weirdly. It is Acronis program that changes the file names.
For example, "20130221_193735.mp4" is changed to "2RU4D61O~20130221_193735.mp4~". Almost all the files are like that. If I rename them, of course, I can use them, but considering the number of files, it's almost impossible to change them.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Such prefix is added if the a file is locked and files are renamed to their original names during reboot. It looks like reboot were not requested and even was not required at all. Can you reproduce it during test restore on some small amount of files?

Thanks, Fedor Larin.
The system didn't request reboot at all. When you check the backup file using Acronis, the files don't have to prefix and ~ at all. But when they are restored, many of them have them. When I tried restoring some small portion of the backup, the result is the same...
Please help me!
