Complete PC Backup TO a BitLocker-protected drive
With Vista's SP1, drives other than C: can be BitLocker'ed. It seems like a good idea to backup to such a drive, especially since Vista doesn't (for some insane reason) let you encrypt your backups.What are the ramifications of doing a Complete PC Backup to a BitLocker-protected drive? How will the restore process work?Thanks.
