For safety what I do is back up the individual files within the encrypted volume rather than the entire truecrypt file itself. I use rsync, takes only a few minutes.

Truecrypt has worked well for me on my laptop for a long time - which runs Vista and crashes on a weekly or more basis, so far never causing data loss on the Trucrypt drive. For office applications at least there is no noticeable performance hit.

This is very complex and most likely the business owners haven't thought it all out.
- Waiting until 5 years is up is not a good idea (and I assume they don't want to give it to you up front). Who knows what will happen. Ask for it one year at a time - or even better one month at a time - in advance.
- Get tax advice. You are in dangerous territory.
- Asking for 10% of the profits is interesting but theres an old saying in business that the 20% owner gets paid what the 80% owner wants them to. Its hard to stop the owner (say) takinga big salary and depleting the profits that way.
- Consider a "roulette clause". With this, either party can offer to buy the other one out. The trick is that if they refuse, then you can demand they buy you out. This avoids stalemate, which is very destructive in this situation.
- Good luck!
