Disk Imaging to an Encrypted Drive
Does anyone know of any disk imaging programs that work under XP, or
there own OS, that will work with an encrypted drive? I want to use TrueCrypt to encrypt an external hard drive and then save disk images to it for backup. Because of the numerous laws regarding some of the information being backed up I would like to have it encrypted which is why I want to use something like TrueCrypt. I realize that I could back up the necessary files using something like XCopy or Backup and that would keep the data "safe", but want something where I can replace a failed hard drive from an image. |

Disk Imaging to an Encrypted Drive
What laws might that possibley be,microsoft has no problem with youre task...
Dont forget,a hd that might have xp installed to it as a backup,but encrypted, the encrypted hd needs a tool (key) & or a cerificate to access it,how would one do that w/o a running operating system..

Nevada just implemented a law stating that all electronic transmissions, other than fax, going out of the local network must be encrypted if they contain a name and account number. ,microsoft has no problem with youre task...

I realize that, I was looking for one that could work with the encrypted drive after providing the key. Looking at Acronis they seem to not handle them but I may be reading the information wrong. If nothing else I guess that I could use Ghost to create the disk image files on an internal drive and then move the files to the encrypted backup drive. This would mean that I would have to reverse the process to restore the image. I was hoping to avoid the extra hassle. "Michael W.
