Duplicate files with ~xxxxx added to file name

Thread needs solution

After losing a disk and recovering from a True Image 2010 backup, I now have some file pairs like:
f5310.pdf
f5310.pdf~B0COGIQF

and
EIN data and guidance A419.doc
EIN data and guidance A419.doc~T5CACTPA

The date and size of the file pairs are the same, in all cases.

This happens with all different types of file extensions.

What is happening and what are the files with the extra characters added?

First, do the files without the extra suffixes open properly?

If they do I would delete all the duplicate files.

This looks like either disk errors or if you were making files and folders backups, TI had a problem accessing the files also possibly due to disk errors.

even though you now ahve a new disk, it would be prudent to run chkdsk on the new drive just in case there is anything strange left over from the image.
