I’m using Dekart Private Disk Light, a free version for personal use. It is very easy to install and configure and you can install programs on such a disk.
The question is whether you can put Firebird database on it. It won’t work with Dekart, and one has test TrueCrypt for sure – remember, we can use only physical drives.
I’ve successfully put a Firebird database on a TrueCrypt encrypted USB-drive.
