Volume Shadow Copy based backup that works with TrueCrypt?

I have enabled whole-drive encryption on my external drive to comply with my company's requirements about data security. I want to be able to make a backup of files on the drive, even while they're in use. Is there any program out there that uses Volume Shadow Copy for backup and also works with a TrueCrypt encrypted drive?

"While the TrueCrypt disk drive is mounted and is formatted with a file system, you should be able to use any disk-to-file backup product or disk-to-zip. There are many such products that use Volume Shadow Copy and can copy all files on the disk, some of which are:

FBackup
Cobian Backup
GFI Backup 2009 Home Edition

However, the best and the most complete is AOMEI Backupper,
which can favorably compare with any other commercial product on the market."

"I’ve found a very simple solution with windows' embed backup system!
There is a posibility to backup to the network shared folder. You just have to make a folder on encrypted drive and share it. Then you can click “Save on a network…” button at Set up backup dialog and choose your own computer and your shared folder on encrypted disk."
