BITLOCKER TO GO MAC SAFE WINDOWS
If you need to restore Windows from a backup image however Complete System Restore in Windows will ask you for a copy of the encryption key before it can work with your hard disk(s). It will happily look on Pen Drives and find the appropriate keys. Without these keys the restore process simply won't work at all, neither will any the startup repair options in Windows 7. When you encrypt your disk with BitLocker, Windows will prompt you to store a copy of your encryption key on a USB pen Drive. There are good reasons for this and it's wise to keep a copy of the encryption key on that Pen Drive and keep the drive itself somewhere safe but handy. Obviously if you're taking a laptop out and about you shouldn't keep the Pen Drive with you at all times where it could be stolen with the laptop, this is almost as bad as having no encryption at all.
Bitlocker will work very effectively and silently in the background and you won't even realise it's there. This can cause problems should something go wrong with Windows and you need to either restore it from a backup, or reinstall it completely.
