I encrypted a 1TB external hard drive with LUKS when formatting using Disks and used it for backups with Grsync. I had to wipe my hard drive, and now I want to restore all my files from the external disk, but I don't know how. It shows in Disks and says it's mounted but that doesn't make sense as I didn't input a password (and the pw can't have been be stored by the OS as it's a clean install), and it doesn't show in Files so I can't open it. I installed Grsync but there doesn't seem to be any way to select that disk to restore from. Other hard disks work fine. I have tried accessing it in an Ubuntu guest in Virtualbox on Windows host, but it just says there's some error connecting it. enter image description here
