dsmc query backup -encryption=yes

An option should be added to dsmc and gui to query backup for encrypted files. In addition, you should be able to query backup for files that are not encrypted.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, we do understand the requirement and the rationale behind it but unfortunately we currently do not plan to implement this function as it is described in the RFE

    This will work as a work around. I opened a PMR with this request and this traceflags=query was not provided as an option.

    It would be helpful if this was better documented and available in the GUI.

    Thanks.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, can you please clarify why the following syntax doesn't meet your needs? This query will show if the file is encrypted and or compressed.
    dsmc query backup /u05/Archive/somefile -detail -traceflags=query
