In Mac computers, File Vault is a system which protects your important data from unauthorized access. It is available in Mac OS X 10.3 and later versions.

It uses an encrypted file system, which are mounted and un-mounted when user logs in or out of the account or system. The home directory of user account is encrypted with the help of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm.

When user turns on the File Vault protection for his/her account in the security preferences in System Preferences, whole home directory is changed into encrypted disk image.

In Mac OS X 10.4, you could also securely wipe out data, when the File Vault protection is on, by clicking on “Use secure erase” checkbox when “You are now ready to turn on File Vault protection” message box appears.

The secure erase option erases all the files copied in the encrypted disk image of File Vault. But, if you have selected “do not interrupt the secure erase process”, and the process gets interrupted, you may fall in serious problems of data loss.

Due to any of the reasons, like power failure or hardware failure, the erase process gets interrupted; you may come across the following situations:

Ø      You might not be capable of logging into the account, for which you have enabled the File Vault protection.

Ø      All files in your Home directory, along with which are selected for secure erase in File Vault, will be deleted and you will have to face the disastrous problems of data loss.

In such situations, you will not be able to access your account and data stored in it. When you log in through any other account, you will not be able to access the encrypted disk image.

All this behavior will ultimately lead to data loss, which might put you out of the business. Thus, you need to search for a good data recovery Mac solution.
