How can I make a folder share survive a dismount in Vista? (for use to backup to Truecrypt volumes)

Question

It is well documented that Vista's backup utility cannot recognise Truecrypt volumes as viable destinations for backup. The known workaround for this is to backup to a folder within the TrueCrypt volume by sharing it and making Vista access it as a network share.

However, every time after the TrueCrypt volume dismounts (after every reboot), I find myself needing to manually re-share the folder in question before backup can find it again.

Is there a way to make the share survive these dismounts?

Thanks

Is there a reason you can't use truecrypt's automount function to automatically mount the folder at startup? Truecrypt would need to be installed on the Vista box but you should be able to get the same drive letter if you pick a letter like x: y: or z: that'll probably never get reassigned.
