AIX EFS (encrypted file system) support

Hello

I failed to find info on (present or future) support of AIX EFS backup.

I would appreciate any reference material and information regarding this.

Thankyou

This is all the Admin guide talks about

Do not use AES encryption when backing up files that are encrypted by using the

Microsoft Windows Encrypting File System (EFS). Even though the backup will be reported as successful, recovery of the file will fail and the following message will be written to the NetWorker log file:

recover: Error recovering . The RPC call completed before all pipes were processed.

As we can notice it is MS Windows EFS specific. So any other OS that supports EFS should not be a problem.
