According to Microsoft, Bitlocker is not supported to work with Software RAID configurations. Since DataKeeper is essentially a software RAID 1, Microsoft does not support Bitlocker working with DataKeeper.
*EFS (Encrypting File System) and SQL TDE (Transparent Disk Encryption) are compatible with DataKeeper and can be used to encrypt data. In addition, both will also encrypt the data sent over the network by DataKeeper.
EFS stands for “Encrypting File System” and is a way Microsoft has implemented to encrypt data that would be kept on shared systems. It is enabled on individual folders and files. When EFS is enabled, an encryption certificate is generated for the user based on that user’s username and password. That certificate is used as the key to encrypt the files and MUST be imported for other machines/users for those files to be accessible.
