EFS & backups...

08-28-2007

hi,

i've read that Vista's backup does NOT back up EFS encrypted files... is
there a good 3rd party backup utility which does, or is this inherent with
EFS ???

can i assume that Vista's Complete PC Backup (image) utility does backup EFS
files & that they can be restored ???

thanks,

mike.

Complete PC Backup will properly back up and restore EFS encrypted files.
The support for EFS encrypted files in the Windows Vista file backup should
be available in the near future.
