How Backup Exec backs up and restores volumes that are enabled with bit-locker
Backup Exec requires system or data volumes in an unlocked state during the backup and restore operation. To avoid manual changes for unlocking the bit-locked volumes, it is recommended to unlock volumes during boot or use the Auto-Unlock feature of Bit-Locker Drive Encryption. No additional configuration is required in Backup Exec.
The data backed up from the bit-locked volumes are in non-encrypted state. You can restore the data to normal volume or bit-locked volumes.
