To back up your certificates, follow these steps: The recovery agent's certificate serves a different purpose than the user's certificate. Why you must back up your certificatesД«ecause there is no way to recover data that has been encrypted with a corrupted or missing certificate, it is critical that you back up the certificates and store them in a secure location. If the key pair is lost or damaged and you have not designated a recovery agent then there is no way to recover the data. The key pair is used to encode and decode the encrypted files. This key pair is made up of a private and a public key. A key pair is randomly generated when you encrypt your first file. Additional information How files are encryptedДЇiles are encrypted through the use of algorithms that essentially rearrange, scramble, and encode the data. If you want to decrypt all the contents of this folder, click Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files, and then click OK. However, this will not decrypt any files currently contained in the folder. You can choose to decrypt only the folder.

If the folder you chose to encrypt in steps 1 to 3 already contains files, a Confirm Attribute Changes dialog box will appear.

Click OK to close the Advanced Attributesdialog box.

To encrypt the folder, click to select the Encrypt contents to secure datacheck box, and then click OK. A file or folder cannot be both encrypted and compressed at the same time. This means that you can only select one or the other. Note Although the NTFS file system supports both compression and encryption, it does not support both at the same time.
