Hi.

What software do you use? Did you contact their support people?

<div>
Thanks McKnife, I did, they had me update the firmware on the unit, that didn't work so I decided to see if this had an answer.

And what software is that again? I doubt I'll have to add anything to that, but maybe others here know that software.

oh, it's called RDX Cartridge Encryptor. &nbsp;it works great, just that one flaw.

Thanks McKnife, I'll do that, I can't believe I didn't think of that....

Hi, I use rdx encryption software to encrypt the data on my RDX tape. &nbsp;I put the password in and have it auto unlock the tape when it's inserted. &nbsp;It works great and I love it, but one flaw, every time the server reboots, it looses the key and it won't auto unlock. &nbsp;I have to open the software and enter the key again. &nbsp;This is bad because I use it at many sites and am rarely at each location.<br />
<br />
Question: is there a fix for this, or a work around?<br />
<br />
Thanks a ton guys.

RDX encryption software loosing it's password

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.

Encryption

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
