Why i should not use encryption software on my server

by steve . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

More of a statement than a question but, i have a client who has been told that by putting encryption software (i.e. Truecrypt) he will protect his files. However, this will be a royal pain for me as i do a lot of remote work and occasionally need to restart. The encryption software requesting a password before boot-up. This will also put additional overhead on the server. Sure, great for mobile devices; laptops, flash drives but, i would like some stronger reasons for not doing this. Anyone? Or is it a perfectly reasonable idea? Running Windows Server 2000.
