19. File Encryption
Acronis Internet Security File Encryption enables you to create encrypted,
password-protected logical drives (or vaults) on your computer where you can
securely store your confidential and sensitive documents. The data stored on the
vaults can only be accessed by users who know the password.
The password allows you to open, store data on and close a vault while maintaining
its security. While a vault is open, you can add new files, access current files or
change them.
Physically, the vault is a file stored on the local hard drive having the .bvd extension.
Although the physical files representing the vaulted drives can be accessed from a
different operating system (such as Linux), the information stored on them cannot
be read because it is encrypted.
File Encryption is enabled by default. To disable it, follow these steps:
1.
Right-click the Acronis Internet Security icon
in the system tray and select
Preferences.
2. In the Preferences window that appears, click the switch corresponding to File
Encryption.
If you disable File Encryption, all file vaults will be locked and you will no longer be
able to access the files they contain.
File vaults can be managed from the Acronis Internet Security window or by using
the Windows contextual menu and logical drive associated with the vault.
