Hi

I backed up my entire c disk (without my sygwin files ...), including some
encrypted files. It is restore time. I managed to restore the non-encrypted
docs on another machine. But I cant open the encrypted files.

(1) Can I restore my them on another machine?
(2) Can I restore them on the origimal machine if I reformat the disk and
re=install windows?
(3) Are there any key-files which I can use to see the files?

Thanks
.
