15. File Storage

BitDefender comes with a File Storage module that helps you keep your data not

only safe, but confidential. To achieve this goal, backup your files and use file

encryption.

Backup. The antivirus protection alone is no longer sufficient for protecting your

valuable data. Imagine that your system is virus free but somehow the computer

crashes when you need it most. This is where the Backup section of the File Storage

module comes in handy. You can safely backup your data with BitDefender.

BitDefender provides you both online and offline backup.

File Encryption. You surely want your sensitive files to be kept away from prying

eyes. This is where the File Encryption section of the File Storage module comes in

handy. With this feature you can protect files by placing them in file vaults.

⚫ The file vault is a secured storage space for personal information or sensitive

files.

⚫ The file vault is an encrypted file on your computer with the bvd extension. As it

is encrypted, the data inside it is invulnerable to theft or to a security breach.

⚫ When you mount this bvd file, a new logical partition (a new drive) will appear.

It will be easier for you to understand this process if you think of a similar one:

mounting an ISO image as virtual CD.

Just open My Computer and you will see a new drive based on your file vault. You

will be able to do file operations on it (copy, delete, change, etc). The files are

protected as long as they reside on this drive (because a password is required

for the mounting operation).

When finished, lock (unmount) your vault in order to start protecting its content.

To enter the File Storage module, click the File Storage tab.
