What Is File Compression?
A state of each file and folder on an NTFS partition
Can also be Compressed (zipped) folders
Does not necessarily reflect the compression state of the files in the folder
Allocated disk space is based on uncompressed file size
Use compression when you need more space on your hard drive
Do not use compression for system files and folders
File AFile A
File BFile B
What Is the compact Command?
A command-line tool that you can use to compress files and folders
Without parameters, compact displays compression state of current directory and any files it contains
You can also use multiple file names and wildcards

Lesson: Configuring File Encryption
What Is EFS Encryption?
How to Encrypt a File or a Folder
What Are the Effects of Moving and Copying Encrypted Files or Folders?
What Is EFS Encryption?
EFS encryption makes data unintelligible without a decryption key EFS encryption makes data unintelligible without a decryption key
EFS encrypts data Users encrypt a file or folder by setting the encryption property All files and subfolders created in or added to an encrypted folder
are automatically encrypted Use EFS to access encrypted data
When accessing an encrypted file, users can read the file normally When users close the file, EFS encrypts it again
Use EFS to decrypt data The file remains decrypted until it is encrypted again
Use the cipher command to display or alter encryption of folders and files on NTFS volumes

Multimedia: What Are Disk Quotas?
This presentation explains the use of disk quotas as a method for managing data storage space and illustrates how disk quotas operate
After viewing this presentation, you will be able to explain how to use disk quotas
What Are Disk Quota Settings?
Track and control user’s disk space on NTFS volumes
Prevent users from taking any additional disk space above their quota limit
Log events when users near and exceed quota limits
Can be enabled on local volumes, network volumes, and removable drives if they are formatted with NTFS
Can be enabled on local computers and remote computers
Cannot use file compression to prevent users from exceeding their limits
