Can Veeam restore an encrypted file/folder?

Post by Kitkat »

Hello,
A user has encrypted a folder on a file share (not sure how and with what encrypted utility, but it’s not bit locker). Veeam has successfully backed up this data.
Is there anyway Veeam can restore bypassing the encryption? I have tried to restore at FLR and it bombs out with 'No Access' messages.
Thanks.

Thank you for confirming, that's what I suspected but I wasn't 100% sure.
