The GoVault data protection software can use the Windows Encrypting 

File System (EFS) to automatically encrypt and decrypt your protected 

files and folders.

If you are not familiar with the Windows EFS:

• Review available sources of information such as the Microsoft 

resource kits, product documentation, and white papers.

• Use your Internet browser to open the Microsoft home page, click 

, then 

, and search on Encrypting File System.

Data encryption is a powerful tool that keeps your data 

from being accessed and read by persons you do not want 

to access your data. You should understand the operation 

of the Windows EFS before deciding to encrypt a 

cartridge. If you do not understand how EFS works, you 

might not be able to restore data properly.

You must implement data encryption on a GoVault cartridge 

before using it the first time for a protection plan. You cannot 

implement data encryption for a cartridge after it has been 

used by a protection plan.
