Launching File Restore: easily recover deleted files with Tresorit We all know that losing your work files is a serious setback to you and your business and a considerable blow to productivity. And, almost everyone has accidentally deleted an important file once or twice in their professional life. Ransomware attacks are an even worse way to lose your files as they risk the confidential data companies manage and result in severe financial and reputational harm. We know how important your work is, so we’ve got your back.

Tresorit can help you in recovering your files in case you or your business falls victim to any of these unfortunate events. We’re happy to announce the launch of our new File Restore feature.

File Restore helps you to easily recover deleted files in Tresorit in the case of accidental deletions and ransomware attacks. The option to recover files has been among the top feature requests we’ve heard from our users and customers. Even though a workaround existed in some of the cases and the is already available, a user-friendly way to restore deleted files was missing until now. How does File Restore work?. You can recover deleted files and folders by clicking “Show deleted” on various platforms.

All deleted items will show up in grey and strikethrough. Select the items you want to recover then click on the “Restore” button from the context menu.

Delete and restore options will now be visible. How does Delete change in Tresorit?.

When you delete a file, a folder or multiple items in Tresorit, you will be asked if you want to simply delete a file or permanently delete that. The simply deleted files and folders are moved to “Deleted items” and will be visible by clicking on “Show deleted”. Deleted and restored filenames will be visible on “Activity” and “Recents”, too. Permanently deleted files cannot be restored. You will not see their file names either for compliance reasons. The synchronization always moves items to Deleted items, which you can later permanently delete or restore.

Deleted items count towards your storage quota; you may get rid of all deleted items of a tresor by selecting “Remove deleted items” from its context menu. File restore will be available for Tresorit Premium, Solo and Business users on all major platforms, including the Web Access and mobile platforms from the following versions:. Windows: 3.1.1333.740 or later. Mac: 3.1.1218.740 or later.

Linux: 3.1.1218.740 or later. iOS: 3.0.827.743 or later. Android: 3.0.706.743 or later Please note that items deleted in earlier Tresorit versions cannot be recovered. Also, you cannot recover entire tresors, only files, and folders. With the deleted file and folder restore feature coming to all platforms, other workaround solutions (including the hidden local.trash folder) will be disabled soon.

Sorry, but you say that 'as long as you permanently delete the files.the deleted files may be recovered when you mount the volume. In order to delete a specific file I must be mounted, and therefore the data is unencrypted at that moment. Let us say the computer is seized by a government agency. And I did permanently delete the file. The problem is, this is no more secure than if I permanently delete any other files located outside my veracrypt file, is that right? In other words, permanently deleting a mounted veracrypt file is no more secure than permanently deleting a 'normal' file, right? Eraser is the program I use but it isn't for use with SSDs for obvious reasons (can't work reliably due to wear leveling).

Deleted Encrypted Data Accidentally

The best solution is as you said, move files you don't want deleted to a new container and permanently delete the other container. The only additional measure I could think of would be destroying the volume header by overwriting it first (thus even if the volume could be recovered it wouldn't be able to be decrypted). On a spinning hard disk you could just shred the whole container file. On an SSD the idea is complicated (you could overwrite just the header with say random values in a hex editor but due to wear leveling you're not guaranteed a copy won't remain, although with luck it would simply be the blocks of JUST the old header which would look like psuedo-random data. For this reason and others it is essential that you practice whole-disk or whole-partition encryption when using an SSD!).

Beware that SSDs have a reserved space called over-provisioning (OP) that cannot be accessed by VeraCrypt for encrypting. Only the SSD controller has access to the over-provisioning drive space to use for bad blocks.

Hence, VeraCrypt cannot access this space reserved by the SSD manufacturer. Here is a link to Samsung's Over-Provisioning for educational purposes. As the link I provided stated, some models allow you to configure the size of the over-provisioning, however the SSD controller controls the usage of the reserved partition and not the user or the OS. OP is a way to set aside a minimum amount of free space, inaccessible to the user or the OS, which the SSD controller can utilize as a kind of “work bench.”. Well this really is trouble, I'm about to trade in my SSD comp.

For an older model ad it seems SSD is impossible to secure in almost every way. In the mean time, the above solution doesn't work at all. I create a throwaway volume and mount it, however dgging files into it copies them, it doesent move them, as they are not moving within the original container. So, it seems it is impossible to delete specific files inside the drive securely, especially on a SSD dr SSD UEFI comouter. Also seems to prevent use of live OS boot drives, at least my boot works fine on all other systems except that one. My concern is that at the least, records of filenames that were deleted or copied, even on an external drive, will be retained. I realise that this is an old threat, but I wanted to clarify my understanding of what was said: (1) If a Veracrypt volume is mounted, and I permanently delete (shift-del) a file from inside that volume, and the volume stays mounted, someone (with the right tools) can recover the deleted file from the hard drive just as they would be able to do with a file deleted from a normal, unencrypted hard drive.

Deleting Data From Hard Drive

(2) If a Veracrypt volume is mounted, and I permanently delete (shift-del) a file from inside that volume, and then the volume is dismounted, someone cannot recover the deleted file from the hard drive the way they would be able to do in (1) above. But they may still be able to exploit data leaks to recover the contents of the file in a different way. Is this correct?
