I'm having bootup problems with my Linux Mint installation. I'm using an Ubuntu live usb to back up my stuff. I want to mount my ENCFS container to back up the files, but I can't figure out how to do it from a live disk. Can this be done?

Yes, man encfs should tell you all you need to know. I think the command is essentially

encfs /the/encrypted-dir /the/empty/mountpoint-dir

replacing directories with your real ones. If there are any errors I think there's a -v option for more info, and check logs, and update your Q if it doesn't work. All the needed info should be in a config file in the encrypted dir + your passphrase.

FYI, encfs is probably not installed on a default live iso, so you'll first need the internet, and

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get encfs
