Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor allows you to create a backup copy of the encryption key of the virtual encrypted disk. The backup copy can be used to restore the disk in the cases when the password is lost, or if the file-image has been accidentally corrupted if the operating system failed unexpectedly.
The backup copy is stored in encrypted form. To encrypt the backup copy, a special alternative access password, independent from the disk access password, is used.
To create a backup copy, do the following:
| 1. | In Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor's Control Panel click Recovery. |
| 3. | Select the folder and the filename of the virtual encrypted disk file-image. |
| 4. | Enter the password to access the virtual encrypted disk. |
| 5. | The Save encryption key window will appear. |
| 6. | Select a folder to store the disk backup copy, enter the backup copy file name in the File Name field, click Save. The software will ask you to enter and confirm the backup copy alternative access password. |
| 7. | Enter the alternative password in the Password field and re-enter it in the Confirmation field. The entered password must be at least 5 symbols long. Otherwise, an insufficient password length message will appear. |
Note. The Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor backup copy alternative access password can consist of alphanumeric symbols, and it is case-sensitive. Enter the password carefully.
