KB7571 - Back up Key-File in ESET Endpoint EncryptionĪs a side note, it is possible to 'adopt' standalone clients into an EEES, so perhaps consider upgrading/purchasing an EEES to provide the means of recovery in such cases. This file is most likely stored on a USB device already. ESET Full Disk Encryption provides powerful encryption managed natively by ESET’s remote management console.

This file will have been generated at the time they originally performed FDE on their computer. If they are using a standalone version of EEE, then you may want to encourage the User to create a key-file backup and create a backup of their FDE Admin password file ('adminpassword.html'). You may wish to discuss with them sharing these details, however this creates a security risk of sharing important passwords. However, if the User has a standalone version of EEE installed, then only they know their key-file password and FDE Admin credentials. If so, the encryption keys and recovery data are available in the EEES for the Administrator to decrypt and access the computer and data if necessary. Is the User's ESET Endpoint Encryption client (EEE) managed by an ESET Endpoint Encryption Server (EEES)?
