Why ?

Physical backup is "physical backup", i.e. page-level copy of a database.
It have
nothing common with encryption state, and i see no problem if physical backup
of
half-encrypted database is also half-encrypted. For the paranoid admins we can
make
option in nbackup to encrypt pages before writting them into backup (of course
file
system copy will be half-encrypted, but admins are informed and have a choice).
I see no reason to disallow backup's while encryption is in progress.

PS gbak's backup is not affected by this "issue"
