1. Read the documentation thoroughly. 2. Perform full backup of the entire drive prior to encryption (as the documentation states clearly) and backup important files daily. Store these in an encrypted state. We've encountered only one instance of a corrupt header upon boot. The rescue disk could not restore the header, but it easily (although slowly) decrypted the drive. We are extremely satisfied with this open source solution.
Started using this software recently, and I think I just put my hands on the best open source encryption software out there!
hands down best encryption tool , audited, no backdoors, open source, cross-platform, what can you ask more?
thx
