Hi. So I'm sitting here, running Windows 2000, and by following the helpful FAQ, I've managed to encrypt some handy test directories. So, in preparation to actually encrypting useful data, I went to back up my EFS key, unfortunatly, it doesn't seem to want to be backed up. When I go to the Local Security manager and try to export it, I only seem to be allowed to export the certificate, the option to export the key is greyed out. I assume that I'm missing something foolish, but could someone point me in the proper direction?

Peace,
will
