    Hi iannoronha 

    1. To backup Bitlocker recovery files, please go to Control Panel and open BitLocker Drive Encryption, or right-click on encrypted drive and select Manage Bitlocker.
    2. Find your encrypted drive, and click on Backup your recovery key.
    3. You will have the various options, but I will prefer to save it on your Azure AD account.

    I hope these steps could helpful for you. Please share your feedback, do not hesitate to contact me for further assistance, I will welcome all the questions you may have.
