Is it possible to read from an LUKS-encrypted disk via the terminal, e.g. by booting from a live Linux system on a USB flash drive and accessing the encrypted host computer's hard drive?

    Why not, if you can provide the key. Commented Jul 20, 2020 at 20:33
  • @MichaelHampton: That's great! Would it be possible to somehow integrate this with tools such as clonezilla? The problem is that there exists no backup tool that can pull files from encrypted disks (or even hot-transfer!). You either have to do bit-by-bit cloning (which results in enormous backup volumes consisting mostly of unused/wasted space) - or - you first have to decrypt the entire disk, then copy file by file, then encrypt again both the source and backup drive. That's a lot of overhead Commented Jul 21, 2020 at 11:24
