I created a backup of my entire Windows 11 machine. There is just the C drive. It is encrypted with BitLocker. I also setup the ABB recovery wizard on a USB drive. I booted from the USB and was able to log into my Synology NAS and see the backups of the Windows machine. My question is: can I restore the entire backup or will BitLocker prevent me from doing that? I really don’t have any good way to test that easily.
According to Synology’s web site ABB Requirements and Limitations
“If your computer is encrypted with BitLocker, decrypt it before performing a backup”
That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me if you want to schedule backups. Has anyone out there performed a bare metal restore of a Windows 11 system that was encrypted with BitLocker?
