I am trying to restore an encrypted WD Anywhere Backup on a Windows XP machine without any luck. I have submitted a support request to WD but have not heard back yet.
My hard drive crashed on my laptop so I am trying to restore the backup on a different machine. The backup was made on a Vista 64 machine and now I’m trying to restore the files on a XP machine but I get the Backup Mismatch error.
I have also followed the instructions found in another thread about a workaround for this issue. I am able to start the restore but when it starts I get a popup saying that the encryption key is not correct and that I need to enter the original encryption key or the product registration key. I have tried both without any luck.
I’m desperately hoping that someone can provide some light on this issue.
I really really need some way of restoring my data.
