How to secure data on my USB Flash drive
Data backup and encryption.
You can be confronted with a loss, a breakage, a breakdown, a theft or a bad manipulation of your storage device. For these five reasons we advise you to secure your data.
- Back up your data regularly. You can do a simple copy/paste of your data to another memory device. If you have a lot of data to back up regularly, opt for a synchronization software or backup software.
- Always eject the storage device before disconnecting it from the USB port. In Windows, in the file explorer, right-click on the USB drive and click on Eject. Under Mac drag the drive displayed on the desktop to the trash.
- Encrypt your data so that it cannot be read if your storage device is lost or stolen. The Emtec B120 has encryption software pre-installed for Windows and Mac.
