how to decrypt with safeguard portable in timely fashion

I have all my usb devices encrypted using safeguard portable automatically as we use encrypted laptops. I backed up my hard drive using macrium and wanted to test the backup.

so I connected the usb drive to another computer and used the portable to decript the files. the entire folder is >1 TB and its been decrypting for 4 days and completed it now.

is there a faster way to do it? when I need to really use this I might be hard pressed for 4 days.

  • Hi Junkone,

    As mentioned we don't have anything to speed up the process, what I would suggest is using Device Encryption which is far quicker.

    In addition if you already have SafeGuard installed when you re-attach the drive you'll be able to access your files immediately.
