[Discuss] TrueCrypt on a network Drive

[aldo albanese]

You are a great group, thanks you.  This user is extra paranoid and would like her network drive encrypted.  She is the only one mounting and using the drive.   I saw the option for backup the volume header, does it work in case of a disaster?  I will test the other two program you suggested.

Thanks,
Aldo

It should survive a reboot (but no guarantees).  It should fail to mount simultaneously on a second machine (hopefully).  There are some ways to get screwed if you're not diligent about this...

If you're intending to pass the volume back and forth between different computers, I would suggest using a different solution, such as encfs4win, or boxcryptor.
