Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To make a backup copy of the files with encryption information, you will have to copy the files to a network share on an NTFS volume because

only NTFS file system can preserve encryption information.

Answer option B is incorrect. Copying the files on a FAT32 volume will not help because the encryption information will be lost. FAT32 does not

support encryption.

Answer options D and C are incorrect. Copying the files on floppy disk will not help, as the encryption information will be lost. This is because a

floppy disk cannot be formatted with NTFS file system.
