Using DETech

Prev Next

In general, the use of DETech is made up of these basic steps:

  1. Start DETech.

  2. Authenticate by using user credentials or a recovery XML file.

  3. Set the boot disk (if required) to make sure that DETech authenticates the correct disk.

  4. Authorize DETech, if the function you are about to perform requires it.

  5. Perform the rescue operation.

Note

The DETech version must be the same or later than the Trellix Drive Encryption software that activated the system. Recovery of older 7.x Legacy BIOS clients will require the use of 7.x Legacy BIOS DETech. Drive Encryption 8.0 does not supports Legacy BIOS.
