Hi,
For the first time since changing over to Veracrypt from Truecrypt I decide to "Backup Volume Header...".
Sadly a window pops up telling me
The system cannot find the path specified.
Source:BackupVolumeHeader:1081
Is this a bug or has the function been removed but remains in the "Tools" menu?
Will there be a fix or is there a work around please?
The Volume Header that I was trying to backup was that of a file container (hope that's the right terminology).
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 32bit; Veracrypt v1.25.9

TrueCrypt's volume layout differs from VeraCrypt's. Therefore, I assume that creating header backups is only possible for VeraCrypt volumes. At least, this works for me.
Regarding the error message, it seems like the entered file path would be incorrect / not existing. But I cannot tell for sure, as the error codes are undocumented.

Thank you RealTehreal.
Problem solved.
I believe the problem was caused by me having the volume mounted.
I tried it on a 64bit Win11 laptop and got the impression that the error messaging was a bit better.
After Dismounting the volume and then clicking "Select File" I was able to back up the volume without a hitch.
