Cruzer Vault works once, but not twice

I have a SanDisk Cruzer Glide 16GB drive (black with red slider).  I mainly use it to transfer files from my work computer to my home computer for backup.  (I don’t like cloud backup because I am concerned about data security.)

I use SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win to create a secure Vault.  Then I copy my main file directory from my work desktop into the Vault.  That works fine.  It takes up about 2GB.

Then a week later, I want to do the same thing.  Since there is plenty of space left in the Vault, I rename the previous file directory that’s there and try to copy my main work file directory into the Vault again, the same way.  The process gets about halfway and then I get a message from Windows same that the process was terminated “in an unusual way.”  This happens every time.

Then I have to reformat the Cruzer, copy the SanDiskSecureAccessV2_win file onto it again, recreate the Vault, and start over.  Then it works.  This is a pain to have to do every time.

Any suggestions?  Is there a way to make the Vault work properly like a regular file directory?

:smiley:  Hi BixBy,

Dear member of SanDisk Community, welcome.

mmm… The vault is only a encryptor. Try renaming out, of him.
Ie, extract the file,  make changes, and then encrypt again.

Luck, and then you tell us, what happened, please.

Hmmm . . . thanks, but I don’t understand what you mean by “renaming out, of him.”

The way I get files into the Vault the first time is a simple cut-and-paste of my main file folder on my desktop.  Then I do the same cut-and-paste the second time.  So I don’t understand why it always fails the second time when it worked fine the first time.

Well, do not do that, do not change the name indoors in the Vault, if before encrypting. (Sorry, for the translation).

Then, I would do, “clean slate”, would be faster. Download another.

Hi Bixby, just to check here, were you able to get this to work already? 

:confounded:

Hmm… Again!

Hmm… is there an echo, distorted… (and 7 days later…)
