Fast copy from one TrueCrypt non-system volume to another

2

Is it possible to perform sector by sector copy of one TrueCrypt non-system volume to another? As I see, the clone software (Maxtor MaxBlast) does not recognize the mounted disks as the suitable ones. The problem is that I have many small files and it looks like general copy will last forever/

It will work if the destination drive is equal to or larger than the source drive, but the TrueCrypt volume will still be the same size as the original, with any remaining drive space being wasted. – None – 2011-07-14T18:12:24.607

Are the two drives exactly the same size? Are you making an exact copy of one drive onto another one? – Marcin – 2009-11-22T06:11:15.673

Not actually, but all clone software I used before allowed size difference. Anyway, if I find the answer for the sames size drives, this will be already great – Maksee – 2009-11-22T10:42:24.893

If you're on linux you could do something like dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc.
