Publisher's description of MiniTrezor
The miniTrezor program is a Windows-based application that creates a protected, safe store (a so-called vault or trezor) for the user's data: the data are encrypted, password protected, and physically may be stored in several copies (located on several discs, or even several computers). It is a one-user application, and may only be run from one single computer. The program may be downloaded free of charge, and used free for private purposes.
Version 2.0.10 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Editor's review of MiniTrezor
3.0 stars
With a unique approach to encryption, this program lets you create a database for important files, and it, in turn, encrypts and password-protects the files. But its lack of direction left us a little puzzled.
When MiniTrezor first installs, it asks you to create a user profile, which includes entering your name and creating a login and password. From there, you have to choose the location for your directory, and for your first and second copies. It comes with a professional-looking user interface, with a toolbar and command buttons at the top. It uses both copy and paste, and drag and drop functionality. We started by dragging and dropping files to the directory. From there, it was hard to tell where to go next. There are buttons for creating new directories, new files, and new passwords. There is also a compression setting for either standard or fast compression. The Help file is a bit short on details, but it turns out that once you place files or folders in the directory you create, the work is already done. There's no button to push to finalize the process. Some testers found that files weren't always copied to specified directories, primarily those using Vista. Windows XP testers had no issues.
Despite its simplicity, the lack of a useful Help file means novice users might want to try a program that has a little more documentation. Other users might like the double layer of protection that MiniTrezor offers.
