Exempt PGP® Portable Devices

Files copied to a PGP Portable device are stored in a 'secure container' (a virtual disk drive on the device). You can set up user policies to exempt these devices from CA Data Protection encryption control.

To exempt PGP portable devices

1. In the Common Client machine policy, navigate to the following folder:

   Client File System Agent, Data In Use Protection, Removable Devices

2. In the Special Device List setting, add the following new item:

   PGP Portable

   This ensures that CA Data Protection recognizes any PGP Portable device and does not apply policy to files being copied onto those devices.
