osx - Mac PGP WDE emergency recovery procedures -
This is actually more of a serverfault / IT question, but I'm not part of the beta.
Tools / Topology:
- MacBook Pro (running OSX) 4GB RAM
- Email is used for web browsing, basically Whatever the visual studio or MS app is not.
- VMWare Fusion VM (mostly XP)
- Main VS-2008 development
- Custom 3-party software
- installation for various development needs Test environment
- etc
I need full disk encryption [WDE] due to the nature of the data I work with it . Because I'm using both VM and OSX, I just can not install TrueCrypt WDE inside my VM because this makes my OSX data unsafe.
FileVault will not work for many reasons which I will leave to find you if you pay more attention to it, it is enough to say that it will not work for my purpose.
The WDE of TrueCrypt is fantastic and it worked on my EFI Intel Mac if the solution would be done :( PGP is one that works on Mac.
The problem is simple: What happens at the event of accessing the disk without booting the system?
With TrueCrypt you can mount the drive from Bartpe or any other system installed with Windows TC and copy the data. / P>
Is it possible for Mac to do this with PGP Is that the way people know about this? Has others already solved this problem?
I know that you can decrypt the drive in emergency There are times when it is undesirable or unreliable. The ability to make a boot disk (wind) which I see is OK, it is not Mac) to be able to mount my drive unencrypted
You definitely have two options: 1. Install WDE on a separate Mac and install a remote disk Use target disk mode to remotely mount. 2. Install the WDE on the bootable external drive, then simply boot from it, mount the original disk (enter a passphrase, definitely), and use the data.
Available Command Line Recovery Options are Available You can check the PGP Knowledge Base and search for article 1018.
