Problem description:
A couple of years ago I spent a week or so reviewing which backup solution I wanted to go for. Murphy’s law dawned on me once again when I woke up to a laptop that had been pissed on (by myself, dont ask).
I have now opened up the laptop and taken out the drive to connect it to another computer by USB and I can view the folders on the drive. My problem is that I can’t really figure out how to determine which version of LUKS(or whatever) was used to decrypt it, and which terminal tools I need to use to decrypt it so that I can access the content on the machine I have connected it to.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could point me in which direction I should go to start troubleshooting or perhaps give me a brief guide on how to do it. My hope is that since the folders are showing up etc., my urine hasn’t reigned complete damage on the drive(pun intended?).
I am not sure if I have posted this in the right category, please move it about if so.

I guess it’s sdb1 and sdb6 I am interested in mounting+decrypting. The reason it says TAILS is because I installed it once and it has stuck to the bootloader forever for whatever reason.
