EFS protected files can not be backup?
Hi,
I use TrueImage since a long time but recently protected some of my files using EFS (not TrueCrypt!). I never tried this with an earlier version of ATIH but the 2011 version can not backup any of these files. I enabled the option to store encrypted files unencrypted in the archive. If I disable this option, the backup works, but of course with a lot more space as encrypted files can not be compressed very good.
Can someone confirm this?

Thanks for the answer.
I tried to explain that not the drive is encrypted but the Microsoft EFS encryption is used and that only a few files are encrypted. The backup is a file based backup.
In addition the option given by ATIH to store these encrypted files unencrypted implies clearly, that it is supposed to be supported (see http://kb.acronis.com/content/13467).
This is a feature that just seem to not work. I never tried this with the 2010, but maybe someone still does and can confirm that it is at least working with the older version. I might go back then, but only if it is worth the hassle.

Ah I see I misunderstood.
