I want to use robocopy to backup data on Vista from internal NTFS HDD to external NTFS HDD.<br />
The source files and folders are EFS encrypted.<br />
Robocopy copies the files but the destination files are also EFS encrypted.<br />
I do not want the destination files to be encrypted.<br />

How do I tell robocopy to remove the EFS encryption on the destination files?<br />

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
