  • 1.  Does using recover /d modify drive data in any way?

    Posted Jun 18, 2018 02:47 PM

    I needed to clone several end user workstations (Windows 7 x64 Pro) running SEE 8.2.1 Full Disk. I used a SEE Recovery USB and recover /d to decrypt the drive first and then cloned the disk via Ghost to another disk.

    Does decrypting the drive first change or modify any of the metadata related to the files stored on the drive?

    I've recieved confirmation from a Symantec Enterprise Technical Support agent that full disk decryption does not modify metadata. If you have any doubts I suggest opening a ticket with them as their support was quick and helpful.
