Please advise.

What is the procedure if a user lost her USB key? Assuming she has the recovery file being saved somewhere in our network drive.
Please advise.

I should not need to do the above if I save the recovery key to a file and copy it into a save location on the network, right?
From what I have learned so far, a Bitlocker encrypted laptop will require the USB for start up. If this USB drive is lost, can the user still access her data in the encrypted C drive with only the recovery key from the file I saved in the encryption process? This is what I am trying to ask.
Please advise again. Thanks.
