Should I be able to re-image with Volume based encryption on?

LoXodonte

As subjects reads...Should I be able to-re-image with Volume based encryption on? I guess I don't see why not...it's not as if the hdd is locked, it's just not readible if I don't have the key.

    Hi LoXodonte,

    re-imaging as a backup solution or to renew a system?

    As a backup solution, if you want to create an image of your system that is protected with SafeGuard Enterprise Device Encryption, make sure to create a sector based 1:1 backup of the drive (including bad sectors, as the POA and other SafeGuard related information are marked as "bad" in the file system). mind that full disk encrypted drives cannot be compressed, so the image size will be the same size as the original volume.

    If you want to put an image on an encrypted machine to refresh your system, you might want to re-write the Master Boot Record (e.g. using fdisk.exe) before restoring an image to the machine, otherwise the SafeGuard POA might still show up when you boot the machine.

    Regards,
