Can PhotoRec recover Truecrypt volumes?
From what I have read, they don't have signatures. Is there no way to recover one of these from a damaged hard drive?
Re: Can PhotoRec recover Truecrypt volumes?
Nope, testdisk and photorec cannot retrieve data from an encrypted partition or disk.
Did you already try to recover your backup of your volume header?
There is a tool available called testcrypt, which can make truecrypt volumes recoverable.
In case, contact the author?
