Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor allows you to restore a virtual secret disk from a previously created backup copy (see the section Backing up Virtual Secret Disk Data above).
Note: The data of a backup copy can be restored to the original secret disk, as well as to any other existing or newly created secret disk, if the alternative access password is entered correctly and the size of the restored data does not exceed the capacity of the virtual disk of destination. This feature allows you to restore data even if both the image file and the electronic Key of the original secret disk have been lost.
Note:If an existing virtual secret disk is intended to store the data recovered from a backup copy, all of its current data will be lost upon backup data recovery (replaced by the backup copy data). Be careful!
To restore data using a backup copy, do the following:
| 1. | Click Recovery > Restore in the product Control Panel . |
| 2. | Connect the secret disk as described above in the section Connecting/Disconnecting the Virtual Secret Disk or create a new disk, as described in the section Creating Virtual Secret Disk. |
| 3. | The Private Disk MultiFactor restore file window will appear. |

If the activated electronic Key is not an electronic Key used in creating this backup copy, the software will request to enter an alternative access password.
Note: The alternative backup copy access password can consist of alphanumeric symbols and it is case-sensitive. Enter the password carefully.
Before the data recovery process starts, Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor warns that all data will be deleted from the current virtual disk.
| 5. | After clicking Yes, all of the current disk data are deleted, and the virtual private disk data recovery process is initiated. |
