What is the best method for encrypting the physical files of the database at the OS level. Config: SQL 2000, Win2K SP4, NTFS.
I am aware of Windows EFS, but have not been able to find suitable instruction on restoration/recovery. In addition, needed is encryption that can span multiple machines as DoubleTake is being used for replication.
If this is not a suitable forum for this question, please direct me to the appropriate place.

Windows EFS is the only fully Microsoft supported solution that I am aware of. Basically, recovery is the same as with any deployed EFS solution. You won't find anything specific to SQL Server because so far as the OS is concerned, a SQL Server database file is the same as any other file (albeit one that stays open).
Here are some resources alng those lines:
