Question for users of TrueCrypt and other encryption systems

Good afternoon!
Such a situation: at work, the logical drive is encrypted with TrueCrypt. There was a need to switch from TrueCrypt to another encryption program that does not interfere with the operation of the Windows shadow copy service. In this case, it is necessary to do this without re-encrypting information on encrypted partitions.
In this regard, the question arose: is it possible to open volumes encrypted by TrueCrypt using other encryption programs? And what programs for encrypting disks that do not interfere with the shadow copy service could you recommend?

@Vampiro

The Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service is currently supported only for partitions within the key scope of active system encryption (eg a system partition encrypted by TrueCrypt, or a non-system partition located on a system drive encrypted by TrueCrypt, mounted when the encrypted operating system is running). Note: For other types of volumes, the Volume Shadow Copy Service is not supported because the documentation for the necessary API is not available. (http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=issues-and-limitations)
Instead of looking for an alternative to Truecrypt, I would look for an alternative to VSS.

It seems to me that without decryption nothing will work ...

And how will you decipher this section? You don't know the key.
