: encrypted hard drive if the primary user forgets the passphrase.
: The encryption key back up can also be useful for extracting data
: after a hardware or software failure that corrupts the header of
: the encrypted volume, or to access the company data after an
: employee leaves abruptly.

: format. Support for other formats is possible, some formats are
: planned for future releases.
