After some extra testing I am able to restore the encrypted backup if I
restore to a different location (i.e. C:/restore). I have also
successfully restored a single folder - Program Files (x86) - to it's
original location. I only get problems when I try a full system restore
to the original location. Then I get the cryptographic errors.

Martin, I haven't yet tried using portable backups. I will give it a go,
but reading the docs I would rather have unencrypted backups than not be
able to restore file attributes properly.

Regards,
James

Looks like it might be bug.

You could try doing a backup of a single small directory to see if that
triggers it.  If it does, then add portable=yes in the fileset options
to see if that fixes it.  Using portable=yes is not a good long-term
solution, but it might narrow the problem down.
