Thank you Cableguy, yes the remote server + VPS is also a viable solution, however it would add some level of complexity. I've proposed it to my customer, but it seems to prefer the classical solution (local laptop). Anyway thank you very much for your hintI had a manager here in the company I work for, that used a "remote server".
It worked inline with TeamViewer but it was hosted as a remote server (like a VPS but with desktop acess). Só all the "sensitive" data and programs (he actually could use it just like a local desktop computer and install programs and use them) were hosted remotely...
I know, it's not what you asked, but is "another" option I think
Hi sorex, many thanks for your answer.I think it's sort of auto enabled in the later Win10 Pro builds.
I noticed it when I wanted to clone a fresh installed Win10 on a NUC or BRIX mini desktop but it was impossible to clone the partition as it was marked special. I had to boot up windows again and disable the bitlocker on that disk/partition first and then disable bitlocker completely.
If you have a home version you can upgrade it to pro without reinstalling. It will just download and enable some Pro specific things in your current install.
Hi sorex, many thanks for your answer.
The solution witn win10 pro, which has BitLocker native, is quite promising. I have a question though. I want to clone the entire HD to another HD in case of data disaster, so that my customer can change the Laptop HD with the cloned one, and flawlessy continue to work with it, as nothing were happened. Obviously, the cloned HD should be encrypted like the original. In oder words, the cloned HD should be exactly the same of the source one.
Is that possible without disabling BitLocker ? It is important, that the cloned HD results also encrypted like the original one.
Regards,
Sergio
Are there HD with biometrical protection ? As far as I know, there's only a protection to gain the access to the Laptop/HD, but the data can be read once you extract the HD from the laptop.. (now I'm further more confused :I didn't say you couldn't use it, I just pointed out that, if you aim at doing it to the system hdd, then it will present some challenges.
You can choose to partition the hdd and then encrypt the secondary partition.
This will not, however, protect in case of a stolen/lost laptop. To protect unrigthfull access to the laptop I would suggest biometrical protection
No problem sorex, thanks for your answerSorry for the late response (new year you know) but as I wrote it doesn't seem like straight forward to copy a bit locked partition.
I tried it with Acronis and it refused to copy unless I removed the encryption.
My guess is that it also encrypts the file allocation tables.
There are also programs that can encrypt files and add an specific extention to your files if they are encrypted by that but I doubt it's a good solution for source related tasks.
It's more for Office like files.
Cool, I didn't know about it.. indeed it is also a viable solution, I'll dig about it.How about something like....

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's complete nonsense about your keys being sent to Microsoft. You should not try and scare people with this type of bad information.One nice feature with MS Bit Locker is Microsoft automatically provides the private keys to the government authorities when you register Windows. This means they won't be bugging you to gain access to your data with needless warrants. They have been doing this since the 1990's and it works really well.
