Warning: Encrypted Files

The .BKF file or backup media contains a file or folder that was encrypted on the source computer. Files are typically encrypted using the Encrypting File System (EFS).

UMove cannot load the encrypted file(s) because the encryption keys are not available on the destination computer.

How to Fix This Error

If you are doing a planned or test move, go to the source computer and decrypt the file(s). Run Windows Explorer, right-click on the file or folder. On the popup menu select Properties. Click the Advanced button. Uncheck the box Encrypt contents to secure data and click OK.

Next, run UMove on the source computer to create a replacement .BKF file or backup media. Transfer the replacement media to the destination computer and run UMove again.

Overriding the Warning Message

If the encrypted file or folder is not required, you can elect to skip the files(s).

UMove will warn if you the missing files are needed for Active Directory. However, UMove will generally not warn you if files are missing for any applications.
