BitLocker and Acronis: Could you please answer are the following scenarios are supported with this software?
Hi
I'm thinking about your software and wanted to clarify are those scenarios are supported
1. Backup BitLocker encrypted drives to external USB HDD with NTFS from Windows
2. Attach in Windows as virtual drive backuped images of bitlocker partitions (and get its files)
3. Restore from acronis rescue media outside of windows BitLocker partitions from images from external USB HDD with NTFS.
4. Restore from Windows BitLocker partition images
5. Backup BitLocker system partition from Windows to external USB HDD with NTFS
6. Restore from acronis rescue media outside of windows this backup of bitlocker system partition image from external USB HDD with NTFS.
Could you please answer?

ATI doesn't care but in other way. Bitlocker sits closer to hardware than ATI drivers, so http://kb.acronis.com/content/1734 :
>The data read during the backup from Windows will be unencrypted, since Windows will decrypt all the data on the fly.

Interesting.
So much for BitLocker protection, if it can be bypassed so easily by just backing up someone's disk.

dev-anon,
Are your words mean, that it will be possible to boot from recovered image of system partition on other notebook?

BitLocker is designed for specific scenario - protecting data on Notebook from theift of Notebook.
Of cause backups are not weared with notebook and can be encrypted (in Acronis).
In Windows 7 there's a problem with built in backup. BitLocker is not supported when performing recovering from rescue media. And Windows backup does offer a possibility to encrypt archives with aes ==> no way to protect backup media. That's why its useless.

@tuttle -
It can't be bypassed by backing up the disk from bootable media, only when you are already booted into Windows and have access to its data in a regular way.
@Sergey - leaving aside drivers compatibility, yes. Recovery scenario in case of complete hard disk failure is restore the image from bootable media (now we have unencrypted image) and encrypt in using Bitlocker again.
