Hi Wsegars,
Unfortunately, a restored encrypted image may or may not work. However you can try the solutions mentioned in the article :

Why imaged encrypted hard drives may not work as expected after deployment :
" Unfortunately, one of the greatest strengths of PGP WDE, its transparency, ends up being a bit of a problem for backup images. Why? Any time data is read from an encrypted disk (such as by an imaging program) it gets decrypted into memory automatically. When the imaging application writes the data out to a new location, it writes the unencrypted data, not the encrypted data. This leaves you with an unencrypted backup of an encrypted disk.
Sadly, since this unencrypted backup may be an external drive that slips easily into a pocket, it may actually be more vulnerable to theft than the laptop itself. Additionally, if you need to do a "bare metal" restore onto a blank disk or new machine, the resulting system would need to be re-encrypted."

However, recently there was a beta release of the software "Casper Secure" by Future Systems Solutions, Inc. This software is intended to allow the backup of encrypted drives. You can get more information on this product usage with SED you may refer to the below link :
