29.2. BitDefender File Vault

BitDefender File Vault helps you securely store your confidential documents on your

computer through the use of 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.

You can easily identify the BitDefender file vaults on your computer by the

BitDefender icon and the .bvd extension.

Note

This section shows you how to create and manage BitDefender file vaults only using

the options provided on the Windows contextual menu. You can also create and

manage file vaults directly from the BitDefender interface.

⚫ In Intermediate Mode, go to the File Vault tab and use the options from the Quick

Tasks area. A wizard will help you complete each task.

⚫ For a more straightforward approach, switch the user interface to Expert Mode and

click Encryption on the left-side menu. On the File Encryption tab, you can see

and manage the existing file vaults and their content.
