Recovery Vault is a Disk Drill feature that you can use to protect yourself from future data loss. Below you’ll find frequently asked questions about it. To learn how to enable and recover files with it, see.
What Is Recovery Vault? When Recovery Vault is enabled to protect a particular drive or partition, Disk Drill uses a special background service to monitor that drive or partition for changes. When a file is deleted, Disk Drill remembers the metadata for the file. Why Should I Use Recovery Vault? Mac HFS/HFS+ hard drives do not save the metadata (filename, file location, etc.) for files that are deleted.
This makes recovering files difficult, because without the filename, you may have to preview dozens – if not hundreds – of files to find the one you are looking for. If you protect a drive with Recovery Vault:. Scanning for lost files is much quicker. There is no need to do a lengthy Deep Scan. Deleted files keep their filenames intact, so the file you need to recover can be easily identified. Files can be recovered at no extra charge. There is no need to upgrade to a paid version of Disk Drill in order to recover files from a folder protected by Recovery Vault.
How Is Recovery Vault Different from Guaranteed Recovery? Recovery Vault saves the metadata of deleted files, but it does not save a copy of the file itself. While Recovery Vault greatly improves your chances of recovering a file, it does not guarantee it — the deleted files could be overwritten by new data and lost for good. Recovery Vault can protect any folder on your drive or partition, so not only can it help with files that were sent to the Trash, but it can also help recover files that were transferred to another disk. The Recovery Vault footprint is fairly small and it does not require a lot of storage space. Guaranteed Recovery actually saves a complete copy of the file, making it much more likely that the file can be successfully recovered (thus the name “Guaranteed”). By default, it only monitors the Trash folder, so files lost through transfer to other disks are not protected.
(But if you are running Mac OS 10.8, you can set it to monitor other folders as well.) Guaranteed Recovery also takes up a lot more hard drive space, since you have to store all those deleted files. The amount of storage space you allocate to it can be adjusted though. See for more information.
Is Recovery Vault Resource Hungry? No, Recovery Vault is not particularly resource hungry. In our tests, hard disk speed changes from 1-3% when Disk Drill is doing internal Recovery Vault routines and it produces no noticeable slowdowns. It doesn’t use too much disk space either — with 10,000 files protected, the Recovery Vault file is only about 60MB. Learn more about Recovery Vault resource usage What Kind of Drives Can I Protect with Recovery Vault?
You can protect any drive or partition with an HFS, HFS+, FAT or FAT32 file system. You can’t apply it to a raw partition without a file system. Also, the protected partition has to be write/read enabled. Read-only partitions or disk images cannot be protected, which is why the NTFS file system is not supported. External drives, such as external hard drives or USB flash drives, can be protected.
The Recovery Vault file is stored on the external drive itself, so it can be updated on any Mac you connect it to that has Disk Drill installed. Keep in mind that if any file deletion occurs elsewhere (on an unprotected Mac or other device) Recovery Vault will not be updated. The drive needs to be directly connected to your Mac — mapped network drives cannot be protected. What Kind of Files Can I Protect with Recovery Vault? Recovery Vault can protect any file type — it is not restricted to certain file types like Deep Scan recovery is. Recovery Vault is great for restoring applications, where multiple files in multiple locations are involved.
Recovery Vault is also an effective way to recover plain text files like emails from Apple’s Mail app. Remember that Recovery Vault can only recover files from the folders it protects — to verify the specific folders being monitored, click on Protect and then click on Advance next to the drive or partition in question. Should I Protect a Time Machine Volume? There is no need to enable Recovery Vault for a Time Machine volume, and your system could experience slowdowns if you enable protection on it. If you have Time Machine on a partitioned drive, you can enable protection on the non-Time-Machine partitions, and just leave the Time Machine partition unprotected.
Should I Protect My System or Applications Folder? No, we don’t recommend it.
The activity in the system folder is enormous and trying to protect it may slow your Mac down. These aren’t normally the type of files you would need to recover anyway.
With applications, licensed users can usually download a new copy of the app from the developer as needed, so backing them up is normally unnecessary. What Are the Advanced Options for Recovery Vault? On the Protect screen, where it shows the protection status of each drive or partition, you will see two options:. Reset Storage: Be very careful using this option.
Resetting storage will erase all of the data in the Recovery Vault file, meaning you will no longer be able to recover those files using Undelete Protected Data. If you are sure there are no deleted files that you need, then resetting storage is a good way to free up some hard drive space. When you click “Reset Storage” you will get a message asking if you are sure. There is a drop-down menu on the left that says “Keep data for” where you can choose to keep the data for the last day, week, month, or none.
Select your option and then click “Reset.”. Advanced: By clicking on Advanced, you can specify particular folders on a drive or partition that should, or should not, be protected. There are two tabs at the top: Protected Folders and Exclusion Masks. Select the desired tab and then click the “+Add folder” button on the lower-right to add a folder. Why Didn’t a File I Deleted Show Up in Recovery Vault?
There are a few reasons why a file might not show up:. The disk or partition you deleted the file from was not protected. Go through the tutorial to ensure you have the right volumes protected.
The volume was protected, but not the particular folder this file was in. To verify the specific folders being monitored, click on Protect and then click on Advance next to the drive or partition in question. The Mac OS will only actually delete a file from a FAT disk/partition after it resets its internal file cache. This is probably true for NTFS-partitioned media as well (if it’s mounted in read-write mode).
If you wait a day or so, the file should eventually show up. How Is My Privacy Protected? Can I Use a Password? One issue with Recovery Vault is that it makes it easier for anyone who has access to your computer to recover your deleted files. If you wish to ensure your privacy, Disk Drill has a password option. Simply go to the menu bar and select Disk Drill Preferences and then click on the Security tab. Enter your Master Password twice, and an email address that we can send your password to if you forgot it.
Mac Vault College Station
(The email address is optional, but you will not be able to recover the password without it.) You do not need to click the Reset button — simply switch to another tab and your password will be saved. Once you have set the password, you will be asked for it every time Disk Drill is launched.
If you need to change your password, go back to the Security tab, enter your new password twice and click Reset. If you forget your password, click the “Forgot Password” button on the left when Disk Drill asks you for the password. Remember, in some cases in their investigations.

4.7 Aug 3, 2012. CO Yeti, Best Pic Storage Safe! I have been using this app for about a year now, and it is the best I’ve found.
I have used two other apps previously, and they didn’t do as good a job of holding the volume I require and their password lock for all transitions to other apps wasn’t as efficient. This one is great! The image modifiers work almost better than the Photos app itself, and I use them all the time to crop, sharpen, and enhance lighting. I have over 3GB of pics in this app and it loads fast and has great folder modifying capabilities.
The WiFi upload/download is pretty manual, but a nice option. The screen lock when leaving the phone is great for hiding what you were looking at. The ‘delete after upload’ feature is wonderful, too! The only suggestion I have for improvement is bulk organization functions within folders (it takes forever to get new pictures from the bottom of the folder to the top by dragging if you have more than 300 images in a folder).
If you want to organize images alphabetically, any new additions take a lot of effort to get in place within the folder. Highly recommend! CO Yeti, Best Pic Storage Safe!

Nickname1122339, Don't trust this app to make backups to iCloud. I've been using the pro version of this app for about 4 years. Currently it's pretty well developed. The only issue I've ever had was losing 400+ pictures/videos due to the app not backing up to iCloud (2 years ago). I lost my phone while on a trip in Europe, after returning I tried a backup only to find that all data within the app was lost (literally as if I had never used the app before).
I tried a fresh backup several times, each with the same results. Going into detail: I used photo vault for 2 years prior to the loss of the phone. I had pictures in my stock photo album that were dated same as some photos in the photo vault. The backup recovered 700+ pictures that were in my photo album (and other apps/app data).
Some dating up to just a couple weeks before I lost the phone. Basically I guess photo vault was never backed up, while just about everything else was? You'd think after paying for the pricey Pro Version and 2 years of constant use, there would be some element of assurance. I have had little use for this app since losing everything. Developer Response, First of all, we apologize for this issue.
We are currently working on a solution that will allow for backing up/syncing to new devices. This should be available within the next couple months. In general, in the meantime, if you recover your phone from an iTunes or iCloud backup when you get a new one, the photos should transfer.

Randy at WCG, Great app I've downloaded and tried several apps over the years for keeping photos and videos private, but Private Photo Vault is the first time one that was the 'complete package.' The wifi import (and export) function allowed me to easily transfer and upload/download photos, and I was impressed by well thought-out features like the option of deleting photos from your device's camera roll once you've imported them into the Photo Vault. One minor suggestion-mentioned by someone else-would be the ability to re-arrange photos within the album in a batch format, but given how I've never found an app like this as feature-rich and relatively bug-free as this, I'm more than satisfied. It worked perfectly for videos too.
One item to look out for: I was initially frustrated because Chrome would not accept the password so that I could connect the device and my desktop via wifi. But it worked fine in Safari, so be aware of this!

FileVault 2 is available in. When FileVault is turned on, your Mac always requires that you log in with your account password. Choose Apple menu () System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy. Click the FileVault tab.
Click, then enter an administrator name and password. Click Turn On FileVault. If other users have accounts on your Mac, you might see a message that each user must type in their password before they will be able to unlock the disk. For each user, click the Enable User button and enter the user's password. User accounts that you add after turning on FileVault are automatically enabled. Choose how you want to be able to unlock your disk and reset your password, in case you ever:. If you're using OS X Yosemite or later, you can choose to use your iCloud account to unlock your disk and reset your password.
If you're using OS X Mavericks, you can choose to store a FileVault recovery key with Apple by providing the questions and answers to three security questions. Choose answers that you're sure to remember. If you don't want to use iCloud FileVault recovery, you can create a local recovery key. Keep the letters and numbers of the key somewhere safe—other than on your encrypted startup disk. If you lose both your account password and your FileVault recovery key, you won't be able to log in to your Mac or access the data on your startup disk.

Encryption occurs in the background as you use your Mac, and only while your Mac is awake and plugged in to AC power. You can check progress in the FileVault section of Security & Privacy preferences. Any new files that you create are automatically encrypted as they are saved to your startup disk. When FileVault setup is complete and you restart your Mac, you will use your account password to unlock your disk and allow your Mac to finish starting up. FileVault requires that you log in every time your Mac starts up, and no account is permitted to log in automatically. Learn how to for Mac computers in your company, school, or other institution. If you're using FileVault in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you can upgrade to FileVault 2 by upgrading to OS X Lion or later. After upgrading OS X, open FileVault preferences and follow the onscreen instructions to upgrade FileVault.
RAID partitions or non-standard Boot Camp partitions on the startup drive might prevent OS X from installing a local. Without a Recovery System, FileVault won't encrypt your startup drive.
Apple’s first pass at built-in encryption was, frankly, terrible. The original FileVault, introduced with 10.3 Panther in 2003, only encrypted a user’s home directory, and had a number of functional and implementation problems. FileVault 2 appeared in 2011 with 10.7 Lion, and had almost nothing to do with the original except the name.

FileVault 2 offers full-disk encryption (FDE). When enabled, the entire contents of the startup drive are encrypted. When your computer is powered off, the drive’s data is fully unrecoverable without a password. It also lets you use Find My Mac to wipe your drive in a matter of seconds remotely if you’re concerned about into whose hands your computer has fallen. You can enable FileVault 2 with an existing Mac, but starting with 10.10 Yosemite, OS X now encourages turning on FileVault 2 during setup of a laptop. This has made, who seemingly don’t want your data to be protected this strongly, so they can get access in the unlikely event that they need it.
Relatively few people engage in criminal activities, and of them, even fewer ever have their computers seized and examined. It’s a good sign as to how well FileVault 2 works that officials are so morose about it. FileVault is easy to enable in System Preferences Security & Privacy, and then once the intial encryption is over, it won't even slow your Mac down day to day. FileVault 2 takes advantage of the ever-improving processor speed and features in Macs to perform on-the-fly encryption and decryption. Every chunk of data read from and written to disk, whether of the spinning variety or SSD, has to go through this process. Macs introduced starting in 2010 and 2011, and every model since, can use encryption circuitry in the processor, boosting performance. FileVault 2 works hand in hand with, a special disk partition that lets you run Disk Utility from the same drive you may be having trouble with, restore or install OS X via the Internet, restore a Time Machine backup, or browse Safari.
With FileVault 2 enabled, your computer boots into the Recovery volume, prompting you to login with any account that’s been allowed to start up the computer. How to use FileVault 2 On a system without FileVault 2 already in place, you need to turn it on, which converts your startup drive from its unencrypted state to fully encrypted. This comes with a few big flashing red warnings and pieces of advice before you proceed.
(You can encrypt secondary and external drives by Control-clicking a drive’s icon and select Encrypt “Drive Name,” but it doesn’t tie in with login: you set a password for the drive, and have to enter it to mount it.) Warning 1! During the setup, OS X creates a Recovery Key for your drive.
As with Apple’s two-step verification for Apple ID accounts, this Recovery Key is critical to retain. Without it, if you lose or forget the account password to all FileVault 2–enabled accounts, your drive is permanently inaccessible.
Keep a copy of the Recovery Key, probably printed out, for emergencies. Once you start the conversion, there’s no stopping it.
It has to complete, and it consumes CPU resources like mad, slowing down your machine and likely firing up the fan to high speed. Your computer also has to remain plugged in. The operation takes many hours. A friend’s niece accidentally accepted the option to enable FileVault 2 when upgrading to Yosemite a few evenings ago, and had her machine—needed for a computer-science class the next morning—slow to a crawl. Apple provides step-by-step details, so I won’t repeat all of that, but will highlight the critical parts. Only accounts enabled with FileVault 2 can unlock the volume at boot time after a cold start (when shut down) or restart.
For accounts you don’t opt to enable, restarting or starting up will require an account with permission logs in, then logs out. If you’re helping set up FileVault 2 for a novice user who trusts you, you may ask them to create an account for you that would let you log in if they can’t.
Accounts that use an iCloud password for login do provide a way out if you forget or lose an account password, but also offers a security risk if someone obtains your iCloud account information. (During a Yosemite upgrade, you can choose this explicitly when enabled FileVault 2 by checking a box that reads “Allow my iCloud account to unlock my disk.” Oddly, Apple has no information about this option on its support site.). The option to store your Recovery Key on Apple’s servers is secure, in that Apple apparently can only unlock the key given information you provide, exactly as it’s typed, including capitalization. It doesn’t retain enough information to unlock it independently. However, it does put the key in the hands of a party other than yourself, making it possible under the right circumstances for a government agency or ne’er-do-wells to legally or socially engineer access to your recovery key.
Once the conversion is complete, the startup drive is fully protected within the limits of exposure I note above. If you enable FileVault, erasing your lost Mac can be done in seconds, since the only thing it has to erase is your encryption key. But then no one can ever recover your data, not even you. Nec versa m370 drivers for mac. What’s even niftier is that with on the computer, you have a sort of secret weapon. Find My Mac works when the computer is booted and connected to a network. You can play a sound, lock the computer, locate it (if Wi-Fi networks or other cues to location are nearby), and erase it. Because FileVault 2 relies on a stored encryption key, erasing the drive wipes that key, rendering the drive unrecoverable, even by you.
But the extra-secret secret weapon is Guest mode. When a user logs in as a guest and connects to a network, or the Mac automatically connects to a known network, Find My Mac continues to work. Thus, if someone finds your computer, any message you send with the Lock option can appear, even if it was online before they log in as a guest.
But so too can an Erase request make its way through silently. FileVault 2 can make nations quake, apparently, but it’s just a bit of good information hygiene, letting you make choices about the degree of vulnerability you want to tolerate for your locally stored data and any software or stored passwords for services in your accounts. With it off, you’re not risking everything, but with it on, you have a high degree of assurance about who can access what.
