Encrypt Mail, Address Book, and iCal data
Authored by: mk on Nov 25, '09 01:51:24PM

Fantastic article - thank you. A few notes to contribute:

1) New volumes are not automatically indexed by Spotlight which will break the ability to search "Entire Message" within Mail. Run the following to enable indexing:

sudo mdutil -i on "/Volumes/PRIVATE"

2) I once used Filevault and was excited to do a restore via my Time Capsule when I bought my new MBP. Turns out this is (or was not) supported by Apple. At least one of their technicians was told me how to open up the backed up image so that I could extract my files. The fact that Filevault breaks full user (everything) restores and requires users to be logged out in order to backup turned me off.

3) Here is a GUI based tool for managing sparsebundles: http://www.knoxformac.com/specs/
