After Restore all filenames have strange extensions

Thread needs solution

Dear support,

i restored a backup (files level) by select the last increment set of this backup file to another computer disk.

The restore proces finished, but all files have now strange extension, e.g.:

    test.pdf~S3UI597P

What went wrong?

Thank you and regard,

Michael

Michael, welcome to these user forums.

Whenever I have seen this file naming behaviour in the forums it normally indicates that the restore process has not fully completed.  ATIH uses these temporary extension names while it is still processing the files involved, but when it has fully completed these should read as expected with normal extensions.

Download the Log File Viewer app from the link below in my signature and check for any messages in the log file for the restore, assuming that you were doing this from within Windows and not using the standalone rescue media - if the latter then the log file does not survice restarting the system into Windows.
