Error processing 'filespace namepath-namefile-name': The encryption
key is not loaded.
Explanation
The file being processed is encrypted by an encrypted
file system (EFS). The option is specified to backup or archive the
file in decrypted form. The encryption key, required to decrypt the
file, is not loaded in the kernel keyring.

There are three situations in which this problem
can occur:
- You just performed initial activation of EFS on the AIX® system, and have not logged out. AIX does load the keys for the session
running at the time of initial activation. Solution: Logout and login
again.
- The login password has been changed recently, and you normally
run with the EFS password the same as the login password. AIX does not automatically change
the EFS password when you change the login password. Solution: Issue
'efskeymgr -n' to set the EFS password to be the same as the login
password.
- You need to run the decrypting backup when the EFS password is
different from the login password. Solution: Issue 'efskeymgr -o
ksh' to launch a new shell with the keys loaded. AIX will prompt you for the EFS password as you
launch the shell. Run the backup from the new shell.
