NTFS Recovery: A file system is the computer data storage system on the HDD. The most common file systems are FAT16 for older, FAT32 and NTFS. FAT stands for File Allocation Table. NTFS stands for NT File System which was first used in Windows NT (thus the name). It boast s better reliability, security (as it has added security for file loss), and file management than the older FAT System. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. NTFS is considered to be a far more secure, in addition to offering more flexible cluster sizes as a file systems than any of the FAT's. The cluster sizes can be modified to as low as 512bytes, which means almost no wasted space on the hard disk. The maximum disk size is an incredible 18.5 x 10¹º bytes, which is gigantic!
EFS - Encrypting File System. Encrypted Files and Folders (NTFS5 only) The Encrypting File System (EFS) provides the core file encryption technology used to store encrypted files on NTFS volumes. EFS keeps files safe from intruders who might gain unauthorized physical access to sensitive, stored data (for example, by stealing a portable computer or external disk drive). Users work with encrypted files and folders just as they do with any other files and folders. Encryption is transparent to the user who encrypted the file; the system automatically decrypts the file or folder when the user accesses. When the file is saved, encryption is reapplied. Users who are not authorized to access the encrypted files or folders transparently receive an “Access denied” message if they try to open, copy, move, or rename the encrypted file or folder. The exact message text may vary depending on application which tries to access the file, because it is related not to user rights for file but to ability of EFS to decrypt file using user's private key.
EFS has the following benefits over 3rd party encrypting applications:
