Saving backup image to encrypted portable drive
Our service techs are frequently required to take a complete image of a system, before making any changes.
They do this by booting to an Acronis TI 16 CD and backing up all partitions to a portable hard drive.
There are now a collection of images on these USB portable drives that contain sensitive customer data. I want to use an encryption tool (Bitlocker, Truecrypt etc) and encrypt this portable drive.
Will Acronis (when booted from CD) be able to recognise and unlock these drives, to enable our service guys to save back up a system to them? If not, anyone have any other ideas other than using a second, unencrpyted drive?
