Okay, one additional question about this... I have a system where that has about 1GB of Time Machine backups on an external drive. If I turn on File Vault, what does it do to the existing Time Machine backups? Encrypt them also? Leave them in cleartext? Will the new Time Machine backups be done encrypted? _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
