    I'd like to mirror a couple of drives and have them encrypted. Is that possible?

    If one drive fails, and I replace the drive, will it sync back up, encryption and data intact?

    Hello @JM81,

    I have noticed that you have NOT had ANY replies, so I thought that I would try and help.

    Are you talking about setting up a Network Attached Storage [NAS] system? . . .

    There are also MANY videos on YouTube if you want to investigate further and in more depth.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi,

    All your drives have a unique identifier.

    If you used BitLocker and have your master, key, then you should have no problem "opening" the drive from any BitLocker enabled computer...

    You must do real life test to assess this. Before relying on it...

    And I would do periodic check to make sure. "Nothing Changed".

    If this works disk to disk, I would try to push it to images and test. If images works, you may be able to store multiple backups on one drive.
