encryption & backups ???

[Guest mike]

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.
