Imagin encrypted partitions

[varlay]

Does anyone have tried to make an image of a partition that has been encrypted? It appears True Server Image cannot make an image of an encrypted partition and it tries to do create one sector by sector, but it does not work for anything. Any ideas or comments:blink:

Hello varlay,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Server Disk Backup Software (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/ATISWin/).

We are sorry for the delayed response.

Please note that you can create sector-by-sector image only in case your hard drive is corrupted or the file system is unknown for Acronis True Image. However, we cannot guarantee that the encrypted disk (or partition) will be recognized by Acronis True Image as corrupted. Furthermore, the main problem that may appear if you use encrypted disk with Acronis True Image is that after the restoration disk will not boot.

We do not recommend to use full encrypted hard disks with Acronis True Image because after restoration the disk may become unbootable.

I would also recommend that you have a look at this thread (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=129625) for more details.

Thank you.
