Backup Truecrypt bootloader in MBR using dd

Truecrypt system encryption of Windows partition uses first 512 b (sector 0 – MBR) for the bootloader, next 2048 b (sectors 1–5) should be used for decompressor SW and next 29 184 b (sectors 5–61) as the compressed Truecrypt boot loader. Considering the hard drive geometry to pretend having 63 sectors per track, the last sector of the first track (therefore sector no. 62) contains the system partition volume header. (Very important, because without it the partition cannot be mounted. For non-system encrypted partitions, the volume headers are backuped at the beginning and end of the partition.)
