I guess the only other options are to not encrypt the drive at all (not so useful if someone pinches it), or continue to use Acronis to create encrypted back-up files and transfer these on my external drive manually (was hopeful that this wouldn't be necessary). Like you I'd only need to restore data if my QNAP died, and then I wouldn't have a QNAP available to access the backup drive (much as I'd like to, I don't just have spare QNAP systems sitting around the place ready to go if I need to restore one). It does seem a bit odd that an encrypted backup wouldn't be accessible other than through another QNAP.

This says to me that the stick (or a USB disk drive) can be left connected to the system but unmounted until you need to use it. Once the password is accepted the stick mounts normally. On Linux, the stick will not mount unless you first open Veracrypt and enter the password.

Alternatively, change encryption types by selecting one in the Encryption Algorithm menu. I just did a full volume encryption on a USB stick with Veracrypt. Step 5: After selecting your device, you will be presented with several VeraCrypt encryption options for your USB flash drive. I thought I read somewhere that the QNAP encryption is based on Bitlocker - which would imply that it should work on a Windows 7 machine - I guess not, though. Use the UI to select your USB flash drive. Thanks for letting us know what happened. This means, we are making the crypto layer, atop which we can run our filesystem Assuming you want to name it Cryptodisk. Was just about to take the plunge myself and discovered TMP's responses. Congratulations, you created your first encrypted partition Now we are gonna put a filesystem on that one, so you can actually use it :-) So, we are gonna open the cryptdevice.
