DirectoryImportEncryptedDirectoryRaw Method (Stream, String, Boolean)

[AlphaFS] Restores (import) encrypted directories. This is one of a group of Encrypted File System (EFS) functions that is intended to implement backup and restore functionality, while maintaining files in their encrypted state.

Namespace:  Alphaleonis.Win32.Filesystem
Assembly:  AlphaFS (in AlphaFS.dll) Version: 2.0
Syntax
public static void ImportEncryptedDirectoryRaw(
	Stream inputStream,
	string destinationPath,
	bool overwriteHidden
)

Parameters

inputStream
Type: System.IOStream
The stream to read previously backed up data from.
destinationPath
Type: SystemString
The path of the destination directory to restore to.
overwriteHidden
Type: SystemBoolean
If set to a hidden directory will be overwritten on import.
Remarks

If the caller does not have access to the key for the directory, the caller needs Backup to restore encrypted directories. See PrivilegeEnabler.

To restore an encrypted directory call one of the ImportEncryptedDirectoryRaw Overload overloads and specify the file to restore along with the destination stream of the restored data.

This function is intended for the restoration of only encrypted directories; see BackupFileStream for backup of unencrypted files.
