Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor allows you to back up a virtual secret disk’s data. A backup copy can be used to recover important data when the encrypted image has been damaged or accidentally deleted.
A backup copy is compressed and encrypted. Encryption is implemented by means of an electronic Key and a special alternative access password. This password helps you restore the data even if the electronic Key used to encrypt the virtual disk data backup copy has been lost.
To create a backup copy, do the following:
| 1. | Click Recovery > Backup in the Control Panel. |
| 2. | Connect the secret disk as described in the section Connecting/Disconnecting the Virtual Secret Disk. |
| 3. | The Private Disk MultiFactor backup file window will appear. |
