So I've got this USB disk, and a server running backups to the USB disk.
I want:
#1: The USB disk to be encrypted, so it requires a password (NOT a certificate or keyfile, if possible) to be mounted on any other computer.
#2: The USB disk to automatically be mounted on windows startup, without a user logging in, without anyone being prompted for a password, on THIS computer.
The professional paranoids who make TrueCrypt provide me with a host of options, but unfortunately not this option. The closest they come is a System Favourite Volume, which does exactly what I want *as long as the boot disk is, itself, encrypted*. And the problem with THAT is that a reboot then requires a password in order for the machine to come back up, which is not desirable in a server machine.
So!
What other options are out there?
EDIT: There are backup programs that can write to AES256-encrypted zip files, on a nonencrypted disk. That's maybe kinda sorta good enough? But I'd rather the whole disk be garbage without a password.
