Back up Time Capsule to Truecrypt encrypted volume?

[Platypus70]

This is the scenario:

• I have a 2 TB Time Capsule on which (unencrypted) backups are made of several computers
• I want to make a complete archive of said Time Capsule HDD to a TrueCrypt-encrypted external HDD for off-site storage.

I cannot seem to find answers that really address this specific question:
How do I archive the complete contents of my unencrypted Time Capsule HDD to a TrueCrypt encrypted external HDD?

Hooking up my TrueCrypt-encrypted HDD to the TC via USB does not seem to allow recognition of the drive... Is there a way to make this work?

Hook up the external hard drive to your computer, not the Time Capsule.

Hi Trevor,
I tried that. But it seems that Airport Utility only allows Time Capsule to back up to a USB drive that is connected immediately to the TC. The disk does not show up in Airport Utility.

Another possibly relevant thing is that, when mounting it via TrueCrypt to my computer, the encrypted volume is showing up as mounted from a volume.DMG

Time Capsule has no notion of what a TrueCrypt volume is, and as such cannot unlock TrueCrypt volumes.

Trevor is suggesting that you mount the Time Capsule in Finder, mount the TrueCrypt volume on your Mac, and then copy the contents of the Time Capsule to the TrueCrypt volume via Finder.

I personally would rsync the data from Time Capsule to TrueCrypt Volume on a local machine.
Use gigabit ethernet !
