I got a question

 

I need to securely erase a harddrive (got sensitive data that has to be wiped) deleting is not enourgh.. deleted files remain on drive, here is the question: if i delete to bin and emty bin then do a backup. Wipe drive with secure erase then restore from my backup Will the drive then contain no trace of the unwanted data ? (not RAWdata backup)

Hi Emanuel,

yes, your scenario should do the job. Usual backup doesn't copy sectors which don't contain any data according to the file system => if you don't enable sector-by-sector backup your deleted data won't be on the disk after recovery. 

Thank you,
