Evo 840 hardware Bitlocker Disk Imaging

[maxlieb]

Hi,
I need a solid solution for imaging my Samsung EVO 840 with Hardware bitlocker turned on.
I had very bad experience with True Image home, so I need something reliable that works and still allows keeping bitlocker + reading the backup from another bitlocker encrypted external hdd
anybody done this?

Solid solution= manage-bde

Acronis doesn't add bitlocker tools to their rescue media, afaik, yet. though they can be added manually to the boot.wim file. Macrium Reflect 6 does add the necessary tools to the rescue media. You could also use a windows system repair disk to disable bitlocker on an external and then use acronis to restore. Either way, nothing is automated, you have to use manage-bde parameters.

a partial list.

I am familiar with Manage-BDE
But have you actually restored an Image of a hardware encrypted ssd taken within windows, restored back on that ssd and turned encryption on without problems?
I want replays form people who actually done it... not theoretical answers.

Windows eDrive? Nope, have not tried it. What problems are you having?
