You'll get that error any time you try to access an encrypted file (on EFS) any time you try to access it without supplying the private key. I'm *pretty* sure smbclient doesn't support EFS, but I can't say I've really tried to make it work. rsync might be able to do it as a client application, but I haven't tried this either -- essentially, you'll need to run rsync as a user with permission to decrypt the files (and the files will be stored decrypted.) If I interpret your question to mean, "how can I back up the files that are encrypted by NTFS and have them remain encrypted?" Then the answer is shorter: you can't, unless you use a backup system that's specifically aware of and able to use the raw API. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
