But under some circumstances, that level of encryption could complicate matters for the user as well, argued Bill Margeson, CEO of CBL Data Recovery Technologies, based in Markham, Ont.

If a disk becomes damaged, for example, encryption can complicate the recovery process, he said.

“With about 25 per cent of what we see, the media, for various reasons becomes damaged throughout the platter surface. This really complicates getting intelligible data back. The decryption doesn't have enough to work with,” he said. “It does add another layer of complexity.”

I believe this would not be a major problem if the computer had the full Wave package with a key manager. If the computer was in a network, then the key could be reproduced to unlock the data. This all assumes the data is intact and not just bits and pieces.

Just my thoughts
