Abstract
A computer-implemented method for restoring an image to an encrypted disk is described. An image to restore to the disk is identified. Information is read from one or more filesystems currently residing on the disk to identify one or more sectors on the disk that are reserved for a disk encryption driver. The image is restored to one or more non-reserved sectors on the disk. One or more filesystems are created on the disk that are associated with the restored image.
