Solve : xcopy able to decrypt files??

Answer»

Is there any way to make xcopy decrypt the ENCRYPTED files when copying to an external drive?Not that i'm aware of...how were they encrypted in the 1st place ? ?xcopy /g

The /g is SAID to decrypt files. I haven't tried myself though.

That is, of course, only if they were encrypted with windows, not some 3rd party application.I think that I have tried /g already, but /g only enables xcopy to copy files to a destination which does not support encryption. This is not what I want, the external disk does support encryption and so the encrypted files are copied as encrypted. The problem is that it is a disk USED for backup and if the computer crashed I would probably have problems recovering the encrypted files to ANOTHER computer. Of course I can decrypt the files after copying, which is what I am doing now.

Of course I mean WINDOWS7 transparent encryption.
