hi, installed Vista Ultimate this week but i've read that Vista's file & folder backup does not back up folders encrypted with EFS (Encrypting File System)... I wonder why & are there plans to change this in SP1 ??? can i safely assume that Vista's Complete PC Backup & Restore image does successfully back up & restore EFS encrypted folders ??? i've also read that Vista cannot generate an encrypted backup... would backed up data from a BitLocker encrypted volume not be protected by BitLocker encryption ??? any info or good articles on these issues would be appreciated thanks, mike.
