Better support for backup drives encrypted with VeraCrypt. Nothing changes for other drives.

New

  • OFFLINE drives that are mounted VeraCrypt volumes are marked [VeraCrypt] in the window.
  • A Dismount button (also on the tray menu) asks VeraCrypt to dismount them - never forced, so if a file is still
    open on the drive you're told, and the drive stays as it was.
  • After a copy, such a drive says "dismount it in VeraCrypt (or with Dismount), then unplug" instead of
    "safe to unplug".
  • New setting: Dismount VeraCrypt drives after a copy that went well (off by default) - then the drive can be
    unplugged straight away. A portable VeraCrypt can be named with VeraCryptExe= in OfflineBackup.ini.
  • Dismount results go to the log file too.

VeraCrypt stays a separate program: it opens the drive and asks for the password - Offline Backup never sees or
stores it. How to set up an encrypted backup drive:
Encrypted backup drives with VeraCrypt
in the README.
