    Save a copy of your bitlocker keys to a Veracrypt drive with a password no shorter then 15 mixed characters. Then upload that encrypted container to any free service. They wont be able to open it and now you have a remote backup copy.

      Why not save a step, fuck bitlocker, and use veracrypt to encrypt your drive in the first place?

      I employed the super secure expedient of never exporting my keys. I have no idea what they are, I never did, and I never will.

      There’s really no irreplaceable data on my Windows machine. If I have to reformat it some day A) that’s no big deal, and B) it’s Windows, what else is new.
