Windows Server 2008 R2 - Restore Previous Versions - Restored File Filled with Nulls

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Restore Previous Versions - Restored File Filled
with Nulls

The Restore Previous versions feature on my file server stopped working
some time in the recent past. If I look at the Previous Version for a file
or folder the items are listed and they show a valid file size. However,
when I restore a previous version of a file it is completely filled with
nulls. I have tried local restores on the server and remote restores. The
results are the same; I get a file that is the correct size but completely
filled with nulls. The Server is Windows 2008 R2 64. I have searched for
any reports of similar issues to no avail. I'm looking for any ideas on
how to resolve the issue preferably while maintaning archived files.
