  • Refs: Is It a Game Changer? Presented By: Rick Vanover, Director, Technical Product Marketing & Evangelism, Veeam
    Technical Brief ReFS: Is It a Game Changer? Presented by: Rick Vanover, Director, Technical Product Marketing & Evangelism, Veeam Sponsored by ReFS: Is It a Game Changer? OVERVIEW Backing up data is more important than ever, as data centers store larger volumes of information and organizations face various threats such as ransomware and other digital risks. Microsoft’s Resilient File System or ReFS offers a more robust solution than the old NT File System. In fact, Microsoft has stated that ReFS is the preferred data volume for Windows Server 2016. ReFS is an ideal solution for backup storage. By utilizing the ReFS BlockClone API, Veeam has developed Fast Clone, a fast, efficient storage backup solution. This solution offers organizations peace of mind through a more advanced approach to synthetic full backups. CONTEXT Rick Vanover discussed Microsoft’s Resilient File System (ReFS) and described how Veeam leverages this technology for its Fast Clone backup functionality. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilient File System is a Microsoft storage technology that can transform the data center. Resilient File System or ReFS is a valuable Microsoft storage technology for data centers. Some of the key differences between ReFS and the NT File System (NTFS) are: ReFS provides many of the same limits as NTFS, but supports a larger maximum volume size. ReFS and NTFS support the same maximum file name length, maximum path name length, and maximum file size. However, ReFS can handle a maximum volume size of 4.7 zettabytes, compared to NTFS which can only support 256 terabytes. The most common functions are available on both ReFS and NTFS.

  • USB External Device Encryption Instructions Acceptable Use: HSC Security Practices Regarding the Encryption of External USB Devices
    USB External Device Encryption Instructions Acceptable Use: HSC Security Practices regarding the encryption of external USB devices • The Encrypted USB Storage Device may only be used for temporary storage and/or data transport of duplicate data. • A complex password must be used upon encryption, loss of the password will render the data on the USB unrecoverable. Further recovery safeguards are NOT APPLICABLE. Some things to note before getting started: • It is recommended that the USB device (Flash Drive/External HDD) be formatted to “NTFS” before saving data to the device and/or encrypting the device. Make sure that you have saved desired data from the USB Device before formatting the drive! There is no mechanism to restore the data from the USB Storage Device once it has been formatted. • The following steps must be performed on a Windows 10 [Ver. 1511] device or above that is connected to the Health domain for BitLocker encryption to work in our environment. Format the Device • Connect the USB device to the computer and locate the device in the File Explorer. • Right-click the external USB device, select “Format…”, and select the following options: o File system: NTFS o Volume label: *Something easily identifiable* o Format options: [Select] “Quick Format” Activate BitLocker • Locate the device in the File Explorer • Right-click the external USB device, select “Turn on BitLocker”, and select the following options: o Use a password to unlock the drive (This should be automatically selected if you are connected to the Health domain) o Enter a unique PIN, ensure that your new PIN meets the following requirements: .

    advantages and disadvantages of efs and effective recovery of encrypted data whitepaper Copyright (c) 2007 ElcomSoft Co.Ltd. Contents What is eFs? 3 eFs advantages and disadvantages 4 Data can be lost for good 5 how can one lose access to eFS-encrypted data? what is the eFS recovery agent? What to do in case of system failure? 7 possible actions to take Data decryption scheme Advanced eFs Data Recovery 8 About elcomsoft 10 AdvAntAges And disAdvAntAges of efs whitepaper 2 WhAt is eFs? One of the innovations in the Microsoft Windows 2000 and the NTFS 5.0 file system was the Encrypting File System (EFS) technology, which is designed to quickly encrypt files on the com- puter hard drive. NTFS by itself has built-in protection. However, as is frequently the case, it very quickly required additional security. The reason was the wide-spread use of NTFSDos-type utilities, which made it easy to circumvent the NTFS security system, gaining access to it through DOS, thus ignoring the set access rights. The EFS system uses both public and private key encryption and CryptoAPI architecture. EFS can use any symmetrical file encryption algorithm from the following list: Microsoft Windows 2000 used DESX, Windows XP used 3DES, and Windows XP SP1, 2003 and the new Windows Vista use AES. File encryption does not require the user to execute any preliminary operations. During the first encryption of the file, an encryption certificate and a private key are automatically issued for the user. One of the distinguishing convenient features of EFS is that the files remain encrypted when they are transferred to a different folder or to a different NTFS drive.
