This is all written right there: http://www.bblisa.org/pipermail/bblisa/2010-August/002840.html > Also, I am not clear about backups - I assume that you can export the > decrypted drive - is that right? Not quite sure what you mean by "export," but I am using Acronis TrueImage to backup my drive, incrementally, daily. It is working with bitlocker. Today, I plan to test restore onto a different hard drive (as if my internal hard drive had failed.) I expect it to be successful, but after restore, the drive will not be encrypted, and I'll have to re-encrypt. I forget who, but somebody said they use the windows built-in Backup Center, to perform an incremental scheduled Complete System backup, and it is working successfully too. After this, I have only one more thing to test. Move the encrypted drive into a new laptop, as if my motherboard or screen had died. Figure out how to boot (I hope I can use keys from a USB drive or something like that). See what implications there are... Such as ... Do I need to re-encrypt the whole drive? Or can I simply load existing keys into the TPM and move on? Don't know yet. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
