I've just connected my main backup drive to the TPM-less desktop and unlocked it. Now it just works. The desktops data disc is synchronizing at the external drive's maximum speed of 125 MB/s.
So, it seems...
- Something went wrong with the file system on that backup drive yesterday.
- You don't need a TPM to unlock drives that have been encrypted with Bitlocker ToGo and a password. (Obviously you need a TPM if you want to encrypt your boot drive, as it has to be unlocked using the decryption key before Windows boots.)
