I'm planning to have bitlocker encrypt the hard drives on my server, but I have questions about windows server backups of encrypted hard drives. I use both file AND system image backups (i.e. Bare metal recovery, system state etc.), so my first question is are those backups also encrypted. I seem to recall (though I hadn't gotten around to using it) that 2008 R2 backups were DECRYPTED (in any event, NOT ENCRYPTED), but I can't find any information about whether that's still true in 2012 R2.
I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me about this.
