Pains with EFS and Network Destinations

A few months ago, I have blogged about an annoying anomaly in the handling of EFS-encrypted files.

My colleague Helge Klein has apparently uncovered the cause: CopyFile(Ex).

I have been using SyncToy since the days of good old Windows XP ;-) I has been a reliable companion for swiftly backing up my data. With the update to SyncToy 2.1 on Windows 7 the situation has changed dramatically. As the source directory is EFS-encrypted and the destination directory is a network share, SyncToy fails to create new files at the destination. Unfortunately, the situation is even worse as SyncToy seems to be the victim - like myself.
