As you know there is a well know, wide spread partition/hard disc free encryption tool "TrueCrypt". All of my external USB backup hard disc
are encrypted with this tool.

When I now want to backup my (unencrypted) partitions on my actual desktop computer to such an external, encrypted USB hard disc I have a problem because these hard disc are not accessible.

Is there a solution on how to backup (from Acronis TI bootcd) to an encrypted hard disc?
I guess I have to included somehow the driver for TC into the BootCD
or - alternatively- load the TC drivers from hard disc/USB stick after Acronis TI is up.

How do I do this?

Is there anyone who can answer this question?
All my external drives are encrypted with TrueCrypt to protect them, too. I would like to backup to such an external encrypted drive (eSATA) and be able to restore from such a drive using the Acronis True Image bood-cd. The boot-cd seem to be based on linux and there is a version of TrueCrypt for linux, so it should be possible to implement that feature. The question is if there is a business case for Acronis to implement support for TrueCrypt drives with the boot cd.
