73) Compatibility of Acronis True Image with Encryption Software

Description
Once files or partitions are encrypted by specialized software, it is a possible situation that Acronis True Image may not be able or back up or restore such files or partitions.

The following situations can occur:
Acronis True Image may not be able to access an encrypted partition from Windows and thus will not back it up.

Acronis True Image may be able to back up an encrypted partition from Windows, but restoring such a partition will make it unencrypted. If an encrypted system partition is backed up and then restored, then the machine will become unbootable after the restore. This only deals with working in Windows.
