As I said below, files that were encrypted when they were backed up can 
not be restored without the encryption key. It does not matter from which 
media you do the restore.

If you try to restore but do not have the encryption key, then you will 
not be able to restore the data, and IBM support will not be able to help 
you. There is no "back door" to decrypt the data. You need the encryption 
key.
