Does FFS backup Truecrypt volumes?

I have a folder on my PC with an encrypted Truecrypt volume in it. Now,

(1) When I back up this folder (with the encrypted volume within it) to an external HDD using FFS, the files within the volume are not getting copied.
(2) If I mount the encrypted volume using truecrypt and then sync the parent folder using FFS, then also they are not getting copied.
(3) I presume that if I mount the volume and then sync the entire mounted volume using FFS, then the files will be copied. However, I want the copied files on the external HDD also to be in an encrypted state. How to do that?

You probably haven't unchecked "Preserve modification timestamp of file containers"
