Check Point Full Disk Encryption Recovery
R81 Harmony Endpoint Server Administration Guide|203
Using Data Recovery Media
Use the newly created Full Disk Encryption recovery media to decrypt the failed computer.
To recover an encrypted computer:
1. On the failed computer, run the recovery media from a CD/DVD or bootable USB
device.
2. When the Recovery Console Login windows shows, enter the name and password of
a user on the recovery media.
The disk decrypts using partition keys contained in the Recovery Media.
Note - During the decryption process, the client cannot run other programs.
Full Disk Encryption Drive Slaving Utility - Use this to access specified files and folders on the
failed, encrypted disk that is connected from a different "host" system.
Full Disk Encryption Drive Slaving Utility lets you access Full Disk Encryption protected disk
drives that become corrupted as a result of an Operating System failure . The Drive Slaving
Utility is hardware independent.
Full Disk Encryption Dive Slaving Utility replaces older versions of Full Disk Encryption drive
slaving functionality, and supports R73 and all E80.x versions. You can use the Full Disk
Encryption Drive Slaving Utility instead of disk recovery.
Notes -
n
On an E80.x client computer with 2 hard disk drives, the Full Disk Encryption
database can be on a second drive. In this case, you must have a recovery
file to unlock the drive without the database.
n
Remote Help is available only for hard disk authentication. It is not available
for recovery file authentication.
Before You Use the Drive Slaving Utility
Before you run the Full Disk Encryption Drive Slaving Utility, make sure to do these:
n
Authenticate the Full Disk Encryption encrypted disk
n
On systems with active Pre-boot Bypass, you must authenticate with Full Disk
Encryption account credentials
We recommend that you use a recovery file when you are not sure if the hard disk drive or
the Full Disk Encryption internal database on your system are corrupted.
