When you choose encrypted files for backup Acronis will ask for the pass key to access the file. That action will allow Acronis to backup the file however the resulting backup file (*.tib) will not be encrypted. Acronis produces compressed output files but does not produce encrypted output files.

Thank you for your reply, but I mean the whole partition encryption backup, not one or some files.

Thank you fot your answer. But, I have read this thread before posting my topic but I need answer for bitlocker in Windows 8.1 , not in previous versions, and for Acronis true image 2014, not for 2013. So you can please write me about the mentioned versions.

algusev,

The KB article posted above applies to both Win 8.1 and ATI 2014. Unfortunately that has not been updated in the information.

Bitlocker can be used in WinPE. You need to have the Premium version of TI 2014 to build a WinPE disk. Follow the link in my signature to get instructions for MustangPE. You will need to use the ADK version. Bitlocker support is added with the following WinPE packages. Add these lines to AddPackages.ini in MustangPE.

package1=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-WMI.cab
package2=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-EnhancedStorage.cab
package3=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-SecureStartup.cab

After MustangPE is booted, open a command window and use Manage-BDE.exe to unlock Bitlocker before using TI 2014. You can also lock Bitlocker using Mange-BDE.exe after using TI 2014.
