Backup header before encryption is complete

[Equim-chan]

I've noticed that the backup header option isn't available until the encryption is finished, which I think could be because tmp_size changes during encryption. But I think it should be allowed to backup headers if the process is paused?

no because if you would restore such a header after it was unpaused it would screw up the difference

Yes that's what I meant, but if I understand how it works and the risks am I able to do this?

[DavidXanatos]

i think most users won't understand and get themselves in trouble. you can use WinHex or some other raw disk editor to backup the headers manually

I see, thanks.
