Ok. Think I have encryption working. Tried the following experiment.
1. Added these lines to dsm.opt encryptiontype aes128 encryptkey generate include.encrypt "c:\Documents and Settings\glee.BSU\My Documents\crypt\...\*" 2. did an incremental backup to pick up the crypt folder just created and filled. 3. deleted all files starting with "phon" 4. restored files starting with phon back to crypt folder, . Went well. 5. commented all encryption related lines out of dsm.opt. 6. removed phone* from crypt folder again. 7. restored phone* back to crypt folder. I thought that with encryption lines removed from dsm.opt, either the encrypted files wouldn't restore, or would be restored as garbage. Not so. Restored perfectly. What have I missed? Also, is there a way to verify that the specified files are truly encrypted? Thanks again for the assistance. Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball State University phone: 765-285-1310
