The folks who are using hidden volumes and going full paranoid aren't the ones responding here. Most methods are fairly obvious. My backup hard drive has the Veracrypt installer and a file that ends in .hc. I wonder what setup I'm using? If I went a degree more obtuse and just had a 200GB file consisting of a header and a bunch of cryptographically random data, it wouldn't take the NSA to understand what was going on. The same applies to Bitlocker/LUKS. My encryption setup isn't designed to stop state-level actors. It's designed to stop anyone who has access to one of my backups or who steals one of my machines. Bitlocker (with the key backed up to the cloud) and Veracrypt (for offline backups) fit those needs purposely. If a government agent asked me for the key to decrypt my backup drive I would surrender it without a fuss.
