Does it actually create anything when you do the restore with MS Backup? Is there an option to create to different loaction. If so make sure it is checked. Many backup softwares will not recreate directory structure if it is not checked and the directories are not there. I think the files were backed up in , which I expect means it was using a version of Windows 95 Backup.
Beyond that, I'm not sure - obviously the files were created on a different machine than the one I'm trying to open them on. Unfortunately, I can't find any available Windows 95 machine or anyone willing to install it on a separate partition.
Do you think that I require Win95 in order to open the files? On Windows ME, the backup software I was able to find and install was designed by "Seagate" or something can't recall the name specifically, but I know it wasn't Veritas. When trying to restore, I've tried every different option available, including create to a different location. The software produces the same directory structure within the alternate location that I specify on the computer, but the folders remain empty.
I get no errors, the software says the restore was successful, but it only takes a second to run. Not sure why it isn't working. Tha's why I mwentioned Veritas. I don't think any other software is going to help, as I am sure it is a cut down version of the original Seagate Backup Exec. If you can find any old copis of that, you might have some luck, but I wouldn't count on it. I knew this wasn't a 32 bit operating system but I had forgotten how different it was compared to say, XP.
For example, the "Users" folder is called "All Users" and resides inside the "Windows" folder I hope that's gonna work. The real problem mine is that I remember the early '80's like it was yesterday. Yeah I know the feeling. My Apple II is turning 37 this year and it still looks brand new although not modern lol.
I guess I'm all set now. Thanks again for all the support! You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account?

BadGoldEagle Posted December 31, Cyber frauds are not fair, so they tend to completely disregard what their victims feel about the issue, even when the payment reaches their pockets. This is why paying the ransom generally does not give any positive result and people simply waste their money for absolutely nothing. We strongly encourage that you do not contact these crooks and certainly do not transfer money into their accounts.
It is said to admit that there are no utilities able to crack SONIC ransomware and to recover the information data totally free. Therefore, the only best decision is to recover the lost information from the available backup.
Keep in mind that the internet is now overwhelmed with threats that look similar to SONIC ransomware. Destructive programs of such kind are usually elaborated to encrypt crucial data and to state the demand prior to the user to pay the ransom. The peculiarity of all such ransomware threats is that all apply a comparable algorithm to generate the unique decryption key for information decryption.
Therefore, as long as the ransomware is still being developed or has some hidden bugs, by hand recovering the information is merely not feasible. The only way to prevent the loss of your important files is to routinely create backups of your important information. Keep in mind that even if you create such backups, they must be put into a special storage utility not connect to your main PC. You may use the USB Flash Drive or external hard disk drive for this purpose, or refer to the help of the cloud storage.
Often SONIC ransomware might be presented as some legitimate software, for example, in the pop-ups advising users to implement some important software application updates.
This is the typical trick used by online frauds to persuade people into downloading and installing SONIC infection manually, by means of their direct participation in the installation process.
Furthermore, the criminals may describe various e-mail spam techniques to inject destructive codes into Windows PC.
