• If I use FileVault, do I need to encrypt backups Time Machine?

  My main hard drive on my MBP is encrypted with Filevault - that said, is it still necessary to encrypt backups in Time Machine preferences?  The option of my Time Capsule is actually grayed, so I guess I have to format the Time Capsule disk... but that is still necessary?  I guess I'm good with just FileVault enabled, on the Mac?

  No, there is no need to encrypt TM back ups when your Mac has active FileVault.

  Encryption of TM is separate and is kind of FileVaulting like the back of TM ups. If you feel you want your back ups as safe from prying eyes, as you did with your MBP, you can activate the encryption. I do the network back ups to a Mini Mac OS X Server running and have never encrypted them. I can, I elected just don't do it.

• How to kill encrypted backups? (new iPad)

  Years, I lost my password to my encrypted iPad backup. Apple says that "so much worse so sad' and so I can't get/encrypted backup control for the iPad. So, what should I do when I get a new iPad? Please don't tell me that the poisoned atmosphere is postponed to a new device! I'll be able to restore what does get saved without screwing things up?

  Without the password, you cannot restore the encrypted backup, so will have to put in place the new device as new from scratch anyway.  Do not enable backups on this new device and you'll be fine.

  The requirement for encryption would only "carried on" for the new device if you know the password and where to restore the backup encrypted on the new device.

• BitLocker encrypted backups

  My apologies if this double job with other positions. I don't think I've seen the answer in the messages, I searched, but with my knowledge of Bitlocker, I might have seen the answer but not understood.

  I want to keep a backup online disk image. I have a HP Elitebook active Bitlocker with a TPM.

  What I read, Bitlocker uses strong encryption and the only dangers are social engineering or (in some cases) a black hat having physical possession of the laptop. For this reason, I would rather store the version of the backup rather than trusting the security of the online site or the backup program.

  I can do it and, if so, how can I go about it?

  Can I load a standalone program to backup and restore on CD and save volumes encrypted on an external drive? (In other words, is the drive encrypted in a format readable by a backup program?) Can I restore the backup encrypted on the original disc and use it as I did before, or do I have to use the Bitlocker recovery key at some point? Does make a difference if I restore a new physical drive rather than one that is currently on the computer?

  Is there another method that can be better/more/easier but still accomplish the purpose of storing a Bitlocker encrypted backup?

  Or is it a bad idea from the start?

  Thank you.

  You might be able to do, but obviously you cannot be run simultaneously on the same system that you are backing up.  You need to boot from a USB key-CD/DVD and run a backup program.  As you said, since the entire disc is encrypted, it will not do any recognizable file for a backup program system deal with.

  If I read the website, the freeware "Clonezilla" might be able to do what you want.  Because the file system is not recognized, this force the program to create a backup of your drive and your backup will be roughly the same size as your hard drive (whatever it is encrypted does not compress).  So if you have the value of a 300 GB of cloud storage (or whatever is the size of your hard drive is), it might work for you.  In addition, you may need another drive of the same size or larger than your current drive to contain the backup file until you can start on a normal file system and transfer it to the cloud.

  Of course a method much less wieldy would be to create a .zip file of only the files you need to archive and then encrypt this file .zip with GnuPG

  <>http://www.Gpg4win.org >

  GPG (also commercial PGP) existed for a lot longer than BitLocker (at least 20 years), was not known to be compromised and is open-source with many peers (Microsoft cannot claim that).  It uses the same algorithms as the BitLocker encryption.  I personally trust GPG me BitLocker.

• can application not available I restore the data from an encrypted backup?

  I had to get my iPhone repaired, so I did a full backup to iTunes and reset Once it was fixed, I have restored the backup, but a few apps "could not be restored. In the case of the one that interests me, the app no longer seems to exist on the App Store - I found a link for it from a review of old, but the link is dead: the app no longer exists. Since it is an application that stores data on the heights of our children, and I had used it for a few years, I would like to be able to recover at least the RAW files of my support, even if the app no longer exists. It is not a large amount of data. The backup is encrypted, so none of the files have names that are meaningful, it is impossible to guess what file is associated with that particular application. Any suggestions?

  If you have the app in the iTunes library on your computer you can restore it from there.

• Everyone is dismayed to see that there is no password recovery or reset secure put in place for encrypted backups?

  I am absolutely amazed that there is no recovery password for iPhone backups encrypted.

  (1) no password is required to access the iTunes application. He launched and the phone connects automatically.

  (2) someone might maliciously put a password. The password for Mac or device using iTunes OSx need at least before setting the encryption password.

  (3) there is no recovery option. None. Tell me: what password-protected sensitive data have NO option of recovery? No secret questions, no e-mail link, no OSx password, nothing. It's horrible.

  I'm in a situation where I remember not the password, and even if I had the foresight to write it somewhere, that the hard copy has disappeared. I suffer a miserable condition where I lose memory. I have reset passwords on all my stuff course often. That's just my new reality.

  I am faced with a situation where if I ever need to restore my device or upgrade to a new, I won't lose all my old texts and local health data in my applications (which is essential for a person with health problems). The loss of memories of conversations for a person who relies on these devices, precisely because I lose my memory is a slap in the face.

  What the risk of COMPUTER audit team approved this feature, Apple? It's quite incredible that a company of your size would be created people to fail like this. Please post a fix in iTunes for password recovery and substitute it. PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

  N ° if there is a way to recover or reset, the encryption would be completely useless.

  Exercise good security practices on the computer where you have installed iTunes and you will not you care about someone maliciously setting a password for backups.

• Encrypted backup, no password

  Hi everyone, hoping you can help me...

  iPhone 6s was damaged and fell into the water.  Screen completely black, but still able to answer calls by hitting swiping and using earphones.  If anything.

  We have arranged for a replacement by Telstra Stay Connected.

  I managed to save the damaged phone ("blindly") on another computer, however "encrypted" "" was already checked and there was no prompt to create a password.

  So we have now a full and perfect backup stuck inside my computer, but cannot be accessed without this password of mystery.

  Also, without this password that I can't turn off the encryption option to create a new backup off the old phone.

  Please let me know what are my options?  The damaged phone screen is completely black.  The backup is encrypted.  We have less than 2 weeks to return the phone to Telstra.

  Thanking you in advance...

  The more "common" passwords that have worked are 'Apple' and '1234 '.

  How can I disable iTunes backup encryption?

  To disable iTunes backup encryption, enter the password and uncheck backup encrypted in iTunes. Password encryption is always necessary to turn off encryption of backup.

  You cannot use a backup encrypted if you do not have the password. If you have forgotten your password, the only way to turn off encryption on the backup device is to wipe your device and set up as new. Clear deletes all data on your device. If you don't want to erase your device, restore from a backup instead.

• Location of encrypted backup itunes

  Yesterday I had to update the issue 4.3.5 firmware of an iPAD2, owned by a friend of the 9.3.1 beta. When I connected to iTunes on my Macbook air, it made the backup (he ate of disk space as a crazy - took maybe 10 GB or more). Now, I returned the unit and want to erase the files backup, but to my surprise the locque/Users / / Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup folder is completely empty. The files are still on my SSD that disk space is much, much lower that before the backup. Where can I find these backups in order to remove them? The iTunes encrypt option has been selected.

  Open iTunes preferences, Devices tab. You should be able to find and delete the backup from there.

• ITunes backup encrypted accepts no not my password after own stable operating system

  Hello world

  I have itunes configured to backup my iphone. I put it up to encrypted backups.

  Yesterday, I had to do a clean install of the operating system (Windows 10 in this computer)

  Now, I have attached my iphone and linked with ITunes, the "encrypted backup" checkbox was marked by default. It was surprising because it was a clean install. I have the backup is done, and when I tried to check if everything was OK, iTunes tells me that the password that worked before you clean the installation doesn't work anymore.

  I did not define a different password. I lost my backup forever? If so, why? What happened here?

  I would be grateful if someone could help me.

  Thank you very much in advance. I'm a bit desperate

  Restart your computer. Then try to change the password backup in iTunes. You will need the old password. If this attempt is successful, you should be able to restore the phone. Failure then you enter the wrong password. The password encrypted backup is completely separated from any other password you use; It will be identical to a different password if you entered when you first made an encrypted backup. And the password that you used the first time will remain for always the backup password unless you use the change password button in iTunes.

• Encryption of the existing backups on Time Capsule

  I have old backups on my TC since 2009. I need them and I don't want to lose them. But I also want to encrypt and have access to all backups in Time Machine, because of private and confidential data. This procedure might work?

  • Open the Time Machine pane in system preferences.
  • Turn off time Machine then click on the button "Select Disk... ».
  • Remove your current backup disk.
  • Then, simply select the drive as your backup once more and check the option "Encrypt backups" and enter a password for the backup. Apple will now encrypt the entire disk backup - including your previous backups.
  • Finally, turn on Time Machine, and you're all set!

  Thank you!

  In theory, this will work.  In the practice, this work probably, but... and that's a very big BUT... it's going to take forever and a day to encrypt all the backups of the old man, which is something that the article forgot to mention.

  Even if you have your Mac connected to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable... it will take days and perhaps more than a week for the initial process to complete, depending on the amount of data you have on the Time Capsule.

  A lot can go wrong over the days and days of a backup, so if you decide to try this... Make sure you have at least a copy or an Archive... of all the data on the Time Capsule disk... before... .you start the encryption process.

• iTunes backup encrypted - password forgotten

  I started to do encrypted backups from my iPhone to my computer in iTunes, but I forgot the password.

  I don't want to erase my phone completely and start all over again.

  Is it possible to "throw" the current encrypted backup and start an encrypted backup 'new' with a password that I won't lose this time?

  I don't want to just save the backup to that one costed upwards I can never access.

  Thanks, Flyguy

  (PS - Yes, setting a password and then do not store a safe place is a really stupid thing to do)

  If you are lucky to have the password in the keychain, then proceed as follows. http://osxdaily.com/2013/06/26/recover-lost-encrypted-backup-password-iOS/
