Question about Volume Encryption and Fileshare

Hello,

I am implementing SG Enterprise. I have successfully implemented volume based encryption and it is functioning great.

My question is, how does fileshare encryption work in along with volume encryption since it would seeming need to be a file based encryption? How do I go about initially encrypting the group/individual user fileshares?

Thank you,

Its all in the policy... But as much as I would love to explain how to configure file share encryption, this KB with a Best Practices PDF would probably be more benificial.

Hello,
I can define a policy to encrypt lest say mydocuments but I have to do it manually. How can I tune the policy to automatically encrypt my documents?
Thanks,

Hi Hani,
The intial encryption will need to be done manually. However once the policy is enabled any document created or opened and saved will be automaticly encrypted.

Thanks Simon,
One thing I am still get confused. If I use client-->Full Disk encryption for internal and external Hard Disks module without Bitlocker or volume based encryption.
Why I can not encrypt C drive at the file level? Is it a software limitation? Should I use File Encryption Module in safeguard Enterprise to be able to encrypt files and folders on boot volume? The policy worked fine on non bootable volume like D E etc... but not on volume C. I don t understand why it is not possible since I can do it via file Share module?
Regards,
Hani,
