Encryption
● When scanning very large files on removable media, there is a slight screen refresh delay between the local console and the
External Media Edition dialog that displays the files name that are being processed. No loss of functionality is experienced.

● When ejecting removable storage without clicking the "safely removing devices" option in the system tray, the local console
status line briefly flashes the "Not Attached to the Encryption System" message. The status resolves to the correct status
within a second or two. This is slight screen refresh delay between the local console and External Media Edition. No loss of
functionality is experienced. [23454]
● Repeatedly switching between multiple users and using fast user switching will eventually result in Dell Data Protection |
Encryption becoming unmanaged. To identify if you are experiencing this issue, you will get a message from the local console
stating the "Connecting to Dell Data Protection | Encryption..." message, however, the connection will never be made. A
computer restart corrects the issue. [23448]
● System Restore is not a full backup/restore utility. Only the following are restored when using System Restore:
Registry
Profiles
COM+ DB
WFP.dll cache
WMI DB
IIS Metabase
File types which are monitored by System Restore are as specified in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sr/sr/
monitored_file_extensions.asp. Using System Restore on any of these files which are encrypted by Dell Data Protection |
Encryption can potentially cause corruption. Backup and restoration of Shield-encrypted files should be done at the folder
level and not on an individual file basis. [23437]
