I unencrypted it for the purposes of the backup since I didn't have anything substantially important in that drive. For example, I tried to do a full system backup yesterday, and ATI complained that it couldn't access my Bit Locker drive, which was encrypted at the time.

I am not an expert on Bit Locker or hard drive structures, but I am presuming Bit Locker encrypts all the "structural" information on the drive as well.Įither way, this feature needs to be introduced to ATI soon, since it is not ideal to have to do different types of backups for different partitions.

I haven't done such a back up yet, but I am presuming it doesn't need to get ANY data/tables from the partition - as everything is encrypted. The 2nd solution that you proposed - sector by sector - may be more promising. Also, such an encrypted image cannot be used as a basis for any incremental backups as it is post-encrypted after creating the ATI image and ATI will not be able to process such an encrypted image file. Of course, anyone who creates such an image could encrypt the resulting image file himself afterwards with some other tool (e.g. The resulting image file will have unencrypted data within it and anyone that gets hold of that image will have access to this data. Pat, speaking for both myself and David, the 1st solution that you proposed is not ideal from a security perspective.
