I use the native Windows 11 backup app to make a full backup of my machine onto an external disk which is bitlocker secured.The backup tool i use is called "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" (translated from german)
Now i want to do a test-restore on a separate machine to test, if the backup works.
How is this supposed to work?Do i need to boot a working win-11 installation from the target machines local disk?Do i need to boot from a boot-USB-drive created using the windows media creation tool?Do i need to create a special bootable usb stick?If i boot from a stick when/how do i need to provide the bitlocker key to be able to read the encrypted data?
The external backup disk does not seem to be bootable.
