I would be interested as well in a definitive answer.  I was told by IBM
that while doing a restore to another client and challenged for the
encryption password, was confirmation.  In testing, if I deleted the
encrypt key from the registry of a Windows 2000 client, I was also
challenged.  Which is confusing, since doc's I read stated that if the
key were lost, you could not restore the data? 

Penny for your thoughts?

Try restoring an encrypted file to an alternate TSM client.
