I have installed truecrypt and try it with tar.gz file, where I had some important data.
Now when I mount this file I just see empty folder, and was not able to find some solution, how to decode the file to be extractable?

Is it even possible?

Thanks for your time.

If you choose a file that already exists as your Truecrypt container, that file is overwritten. You create a truecrypt volume and place the files inside that volume, you do not encrypt a file such as a tar.gz like you might do with openssl.

When you create a volume, you should get this warning:

Unfortunately you have lost your data, although if you manipulated the files concerned on other areas of your drive, you might be able to recover something by using recovery software. Please see this article, which details various approaches:
