Hey guys,
My desktop PC contains a SSD drive with triple-boot (XP/W7/W10 but I only use W7 regularly) and a bunch of HDDs.
For backing up, I use an external USB3 5TB HDD; I use Windows backup tool for the data and also Acronis True Image to create backup images of the SSD.
Now I want to encrypt everything, both on the PC and the external drive.
I want to have a multi-platform solution, so I want to use VeraCrypt for encryption but I'd also like to have an universal backup solution that would allow me to read the files (and backups) from a Linux system if needed.
So questions:
1) What would be a good multi-platform (and free) backup solution?
2) What problems should I anticipate when combining encryption (esp. VeraCrypt) and backup?
3) What would be the best way to achieve all of this? I'm especially warry about being able to boot from the SSD after I encrypt it.
Thanks.
