You are planning your business trip and you got some important data that you want to keep close and access later? Jetico got a solution for you!
Traveller Mode Disk
This option allows the user to store traveler files on the same removable device that is going to be encrypted. This is achieved by creating two partitions, one of which stores Traveller mode files and the other - the encrypted data.
This option only works on Windows 10\11, because previous Windows systems cannot recognize the second partition on the removable device.
To create Traveller Mode Disk, run the Application -> Traveler mode disk command. The following window will appear:
Make sure that no important information is stored on the USB before using the traveler mode disk option. The creation process will remove all the data from the USB.
Select the USB that you want to encrypt and click Create partitions.
After Traveler mode files are successfully copied to the first partition, the standard Encrypt Volume window will appear:
Choose an encryption algorithm and create a strong password to encrypt the data partition.
After the encryption process is completed, all the data written to the partition later will be transparently encrypted.
It is recommended to keep the option Encrypt used space only enabled, if the USB flash drive did not contain secret data before formatting, to avoid time-consuming sector-by-sector encryption. If you want to securely erase the previous data, uncheck this option and wait for the process to complete.
To retrieve encrypted data, plug the encrypted USB into any computer with Windows 10\11 system. Two partitions will appear in Explorer: one is an unmounted encrypted data partition and the other is a Traveller mode program partition. To access the encrypted data open the Traveller partition in Windows Explorer:
Open the traveller_files folder. Run bcfmgr.exe, and mount the volume. The program will ask for the password for the encrypted partition. After the password is accepted, the mounted partition will be shown in Windows Explorer.
