I have a oldish win 10 laptop acting as a home server including share drive and home backup functionality. It has attached two external drives: HomeShare and Backup.
- home server is always on and after boot is acting as a server without intervention
- I am using windows file history for backups for all win devices at home
- the home server store backups its files into the Backup drive
- 4 other win laptops store backup into home server's Backup drive
Everything has been working fine. Today I realized that the home server does not encrypt any information. I can't get to activate standard encryption so may need to use bitlocker. If I enable bitlocker on home server for the boot drive, share drive and backup drive
- Will I have to enter bitlocker password every time I boot the home server?
- Will bitlocker in home server interfere with the other PCs backing up into it (share functionality)
