Prevent software from detecting veracrypt fully encrypted volumes. #1634

@GrzegorzDrozd

Description

@GrzegorzDrozd

Please provide an option (for example a checkbox in mount options) to clone all information about virtual device from original device.
I am using some backup software and recently they blocking backup of "virtual volumes". Adding this option would make virtual volume same as real volume and that would stop them from blocking backup.

Note: it would be nice to have "random" serial number that is different then actual volume to prevent software from detecting "duplicate" volumes.

Desired behavior

When mounting fully encrypted volume user can select to clone device information from original device.
