Backing Up Your Data
To keep your information safe, periodically copy your CipherGuard drives to a different hard disk. Backups remain encrypted and can only be accessed with your CipherGuard. You do not need to plug in your CipherGuard to backup your data.
1) Find the CipherGuardDrives Folder
Locate the CipherGuardDrives directory by going to My Computer > C:\ > CipherGuardDrives.
2) Copy to Another Location
Copy the CipherGuardDrives folder to another hard disk. You can add the CipherGuardDrives directory to your list of scheduled backups.
The CipherGuard cannot distinguish between the original and the copy, so do not copy the backup CipherGuardDrives directory to the top level (root) of another drive. Any subdirectory or network location is fine. As a precaution, if identical drives are detected, the Cipherguard will not activate the drive.
3) Restoring Your Data
To restore your old CipherGuard drive, delete the primary CipherGuardDrives folder (My Computer > C:\ > CipherGuardDrives) and replace it with the copied CipherGuardDrives folder.
