From: hheller on 13 Jun 2008 16:55 I have backed up my data on an XP Pro machine that has encrypted data (using Windows encrypted file system). My computer died and I'm trying to restore files to a Windows XP Home machine. I get the follownig error: "The target file system does not support some the features of the original file system. Some data may not be restored as a result" How can I get my data restored??? Thanks.

As the files are 'encrypted' XP home cannot un-encrypt them. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

If I copy the backup file to a different machine running XP Pro, will it be able to unencrypt the files or does it have to be on an XP Pro machine that is also running the Encrypted File System?
