FileImportEncryptedFileRaw Method (Stream, String, Boolean, PathFormat)

[AlphaFS] Restores (import) encrypted files. 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.

public static void ImportEncryptedFileRaw(
	Stream inputStream,
	string destinationFilePath,
	bool overwriteHidden,
	PathFormat pathFormat
)

Parameters

inputStream
Type: System.IOStream
The stream to read previously backed up data from.
destinationFilePath

If set to a hidden file will be overwritten on import.

Remarks

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

To restore an encrypted file call one of the ImportEncryptedFileRaw 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 files; see BackupFileStream for backup of unencrypted files.
