Abstract
The present application is directed to methods and systems for receiving a request for a virtual disk and creating a virtual disk that includes the virtual disk attributes identified in the request or determined by an organization's security policies. The created virtual disk can then be encrypted and in some aspects, an encryption key for the encrypted virtual disk can be stored in an encryption key database. Upon creating and encrypting the virtual disk, the virtual disk can be transmitted to a client. The client, upon receiving the encrypted virtual disk, can mount the virtual disk into the client system. The encrypted virtual disk may be stored as a file within an unencrypted virtual disk, and the unencrypted virtual disk backed up to a local or remote storage location.
