TI 2013 changes adds a prefix, tildes, and changes file extension when recovering

Thread needs solution

Please someone help.

I had backed up user data using tI 2012, and when I restored it on a new computer using TI 2013, I elected to restore to a different location, a second installed hard drive.

It did the restoration, but when doing so, it changed most of the file names to the format:

4R1PL6B~realFileName.docx~

When I browse the files in TI2013, they look fine.

There were no warnings or error messages. My files are unusable. Now what do I do???

Greetings,

Please attempt to validate the image you are trying to restore from. I'm curious to know it that works ( I believe it will)

What happens if your mount the image (with read/write access and attempt to open one of the *.docx files in word?

Were these files encrypted?

What version of word were they saved in originally? There appears to be a mismatch.
