Yes. An encrypted file-container is an ordinary file and you can back up and restore it like any other file on your computer.

 

Encrypted file-container, just like regular files can get corrupted so it is always good to have a backup of it.

 

Backing up with standard backup utilities:

  • Encrypted Backup
    If is recommended to configure your backup utility to take the file when its 'Date modified' is changed. For BestCrypt Container Encryption it will mean that the container is dismounted.
    NOTE: When a container file is backed up, it should be in dismounted state.
  • Unencrypted Backup
    Configure the backup utility to back up files that are stored inside container instead of container file.

Backing up container to a cloud:

  • Encrypted Backup
    To backup a BestCrypt container to DropBox or another cloud service, you should do the following:
    1. Create a regular JBC container and locate it on your DropBox directory that is synchronized with cloud.
    2. Dismount the container when you finish working with it.
    3. Dropbox will synchronize the change.
    NOTE: To share this container, you have to provide the other user with the password.
