hi,
I have posted this in another forum I believe. Just wanted to see what kind
of feedback I get here.

I have two laptops(windows xp) part of a domain and connected to a corporate
network. Both laptops have encryption enabled and have encrypted files.
1. I would like to perform mass files copies from one machine to the other
without having the files decrypted.
2. Not only does this add a 6-10 times the time to the copy, but the files
of course on unencrypted on the other machine I copied them too.
Is there a copy utility that can copy files over peer to peer and maintain
encryption.
I am NOT talking about how they travel through the wire.

True Backups solutions work, but is there a copy util?

thanks

You can do this if you set up WebDAV on your server and use it to transfer
files to the server. In this case files will stay encrypted while they are
copied to the server (over WebDAV).

And the normal use of the NTbackup to bundle/unbundle the files
at the source/destination is not satisfactory ?
