Using HDM 17. I can back up bitlockered Windows partitions from within Windows, and I can also unlock these from recovery media, however HDM 17 seems to remove the Bitlocker encryption on restore. Is this expected behaviour? I assumed if I unlocked the drives from the recovery medium I'd be able to keep the Botlocker encryption intact.

It's not a huge issue since I can re-encrypt, but it seems to be odd behaviour. I know Macrium allows restore while keeping the encryption intact so it's possible I'm missing something.
