how to mount .aes persistent file

[nopics]

Hello All, I am still stuck. 8-(

1. Schulz suggested backing up the .img file and then restoring it to the .aes file.

I assumed there is a Knoppix backup tool and I looked for it in the menu but I didn't find such tool. I searched google for such a tool but didn't find anything that worked on my Knoppix 7 .

2. I also tried to mount the .aes file - to no avail. I searched this forum, and the internet, and I realized a .aes file has to be mounted in a different way.

I booted Knoppix without mounting any persistent file, and tried the command:

losetup -e aes -p 0 /dev/loop6 /path/to/my/aes

but I got the error:

Cannot allocate memory, couldn't lock into memory, exiting

I also tried to mount the .aes file from my memory stick to my Ubuntu intallation, with the comand:

sudo mount /path/to/aes /media/aes -o encryption=aes,keybits=256,loop

but I got the error:

ioctl:LOOP_SET_STATUS:Invalid argument

3. Blacksimon suggested something with "ramdisk" and "rsync", but I am not going to try anything I don't understand, so I didn't try it. I will appreciate any assistance with tutorial about Blacksimon suggestion.

Thanks in advance for all who are trying to assist. nopics.
