Hi<br />
<br />
Just encryptrd the C drive of a 2008 r2 server. I saved the recovery password on a USB-drive (as well as printed it). I can see three files on that USB stick (drive) now:<br />
<br />
4AB4F6F0....BEK<br />
38ED600...TXT<br />
COMPUTERNAME.TPM<br />
<br />
1. Can I copy those 3 files to anoher empty NTFS formatted USB -stick (and format the original Stick if I want)? Is the the recovery comprised by doing that?<br />
2. If I want to Encrypt also the drive E on the same server should I use a blank NTFS formatted USB stick (drive) to store recovery password or can one USB stick hold recovery info for several drives and even several computers too?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
