Encrypt external HDD --> TrueImage

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Can I encrypt my external HDD with TrueCrypt, make a backup with TrueImage from my decrypt system and when I start TrueImage in Windows I enter the TrueCrypt password and I think that TrueImage will recognizes my external drive. But when I boot from the TrueImage Disk, do you know if TrueImage would recognize my external HDD?

If you mean when booting from the ATI bootable Rescue Media, no it would not be able to unlock the encrypted disk.

But is it possible that I create two partitions on my external HDD and one is encrypted and the other is standard where I put the backup from Acronis. So when I boot from Rescue Media it will recognize it?

Possibly. I don't know how TrueCrypt works, so I don't know for sure. I have external drives that use whole disk encryption, and I know it's not possible for them to mount in the ATI bootable Rescue Media.

Why not try it?
