True Image 9 wont recover encrypted archive

True Image has worked perfectly in all previous attempts, but now I have an archive that contains approximately 7 GB of encrypted files that True Image backs up Ok, but it always fails on the recovery try.

It handles the unencrypted files perfectly. It passes the "checking archives" and it creates the image of the encrypted archive without a problem. But at the very end of the recover process, it fails with a message stating the file is corrupt. I have repeated the creation of the image several times but always with the same failure on recover.

What should I be doing differently with an encrypted archive or is this a problem with Acronis True Image?

What version of TI are you using? How did you backup the files? Hard drive, external drive, CD.

 

Hi Tom:

Sorry I left out some essentials.

I am using ATI Home, 9.0,

All my files are on a SATA drive. That is part of my problem---I want to be sure I can recover the imaged files before I commit them to a DVD. (The 7+ MB image is split to make the process easier.)

Thanks for your interest.

Sorry, obvious mistake in my reply. 7 MB should be 7 GB (ie. gigabytes)

 

What specific build of TI 9.0 are you using? Go to Help--->About and tell us the build number reported and we can try to help you further. The latest build is 3677. If you're not using this download it and uninstall the old build and install 3677. Make a new rescue CD with the latest version and try again. The 2XXX versions of TI 9.0 Home were very buggy.

 

I have similar troubles with v9.0 Build 2277, when accessing NTFS EFS encript files

 

You need to download B3677 and try that one. The 2XXX series had numerous bugs.

 

but does build 3xxxx work with previous made images??

 

Yes, BTW you now have 2 threads going on this issue.

 

It is almost certainly best to uninstall you old version before installing 3677. Use Add Remove Programs in Windows.

 

2 threads

the other was here first, but noone awnser it...
So I hijack this one from smith.
I'll delete the other

Thank you. The problem is now solved.
There is one more file that I need to recover, but I dont have the x.509 cert for it... maybe on day, i'll mount the all image again on some kind of vmw machine, and get the file
