# Create keyfile on encrypted partition
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/srv/.keyfile bs=1024 count=4
sudo chmod 0400 /srv/.keyfile
sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdc1 /srv/.keyfile
# Now another key slot should be taken
cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdc1

To decrypt the backupdisk manually

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 enc-backupCopy1 --key-file=/srv/.keyfile

# The value you want is the UUID of /dev/sd?X, not dev/mapper/sd?X_crypt. 
# Also make sure to copy the UUID, not the PARTUUID.

Now that the keyfile’s been made, you’ll need to add the following line to /etc/crypttab to automatically use it to unlock the partition on startup.

# /etc/crypttab  
# (New encrypted partition with keyfile that was generated)
sd?X_crypt UUID=<device UUID> /root/.keyfile luks,discard

# /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/sd?X_crypt  /<mount-point>   ext4    defaults        0       2
