How to Clone an Encrypted Hard Drive

Whether for backup or forensics, the cloning of an encrypted hard drive can be   accomplished easily using the dd, or disk dump, tool that comes with all  POSIX-based operating systems. As a raw disk writer, dd takes all of the  information on the hard drive, bit by bit, and clones it in identical form on  another disk. The advantage of this is that it can clone encryption and all  without having to access the encrypted file structure. Data can remain secure  while a backup is made.

 

Instructions
◦1 Open a command prompt or terminal window on your operating system. On Windows  this can be done by typing "cmd" into the Run dialog and pressing "Enter," while  on Linux and Mac OS X you can simply launch the Terminal application from your  desktop.

 

◦2 Print your disk information either using the "fdisk" command or by launching  Disk Management in Windows. Write down the physical device names for both the  disk you want to copy and the disk receiving the data. Both should be connected  to the computer at this time.

◦3 Type "dd if=/dev/disk1 of=/dev/disk2" where "/dev/disk1" is the physical  device name of the disk you want to copy and "/dev/disk2" is the physical device  name of the disk to receive the data. The "if" parameter stands for input format  and "of" stands for output format.
