Restoring the encryption key of the virtual encrypted disk from a  backup copy

Top  Previous  Next

Dekart Private Disk MultiFactor allows you to restore the encryption key of the virtual encrypted disk using a previously created backup copy of the encryption key, thus restoring access to the encrypted disk itself (see the Creating backup copy of the encryption key section) .

To restore the encryption key from a backup copy, do the following:

1.In the Control Panel click Recovery.
2.The Open encryption key window will appear.
3.Select the folder where the encryption key backup copy is stored, enter the backup copy file name in the File Name field, click Open.
4.The software will ask you to enter an access password for the encryption key backup copy.

 

Note. The alternative backup copy access password can consist of alphanumeric symbols and it is case-sensitive. Enter the password carefully.

 

5.The software will ask you to select the folder and the name of the file-image, for which the encryption key should be restored.
6.Enter the new password in the Password field to access the file-image of the encrypted disk (independent from the password to access the encryption key backup copy) 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.
