If you have control of the server on which the files were encrypted, Microsoft provides key recovery functions that you might want to check out. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dc261d01-f76c-dd44-94f5-2a5e027fdfa7.aspx Also, there at least one application that claims to be able to (instantly) recover and EFS encrypted file. http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html I haven't tried it. Please post back to the list if you do and it works. --- sherwyn.williams () gmail com wrote:
Hello everyone, I would like to know if I have backup or some files encrypted with the built in encryption in windows but don't have the key how can I reverse this to gain access to the files. Example while conducting a test, I have access to the network backup of various data that has a faulty permission setting, but files are encrypted. And I am sure this can be helpful to someone if the have a backup but the system crashed. :( Thanks in advance. Sherwyn Williams Technical Support The Williams Solutions
