If I have Bitlocker installed on server computer and then make a backup to a USB hard drive, is that back contain the same encrypted data? If so does that make it difficult to restore later on that computer or to the home computer to test the back up?
Thanks for any help.

When you install BitLocker are you planning on encrypting the usb backup driver, or the server itself?
If you want to read the encrypted data on another pc, that pc will need to have bitlocker installed.
