truecrypt interaction

Thread needs solution

Using Win XP SP3 and Truecrypt 7.1a I use Acronis True Image 2013 to backup my local harddrive to another device, the target of that backup is a truecrypt container file. Given a boot from a media restore disc is there some way to mount that container file for a restore?

If not, how would I encrypt the backup files or is that another upsell?

Patrick,

If you store your backups in a truecrypt container, you will not be able to access the backup from the recovery environment. If you want to protect your backups, simply use the encryption feature of Acronis True Image (ATI).

I see a "backup protection" option in the help files but I don't see the option to activate it in the menus or is that option only available when starting a new backup from scratch?

ok got it, it's an option for a new backup, thanks :-)

Exactly. The contents are encrypted at the time of backup archive creation.
