Easily encrypt Time Machine backups
I'm compelled to observe: encrypting backups is almost (but not quite) universally a very, very, very bad idea.
Easily encrypt Time Machine backups
I've a backup disk at my main client's office, I use it during the times that I'm with the client. There is no safe way to store the disk when I'm not at the office, and I can't take it with me each day. So I've used the encrypted sparse bundle for over a year now, and I know if someone steals it at least he can't use the data on it. And accessing an encrypted sparse bundle in the case of an emergency recovery is not that big of a deal as the tools are available on every mac, so no special software is needed to gain access to your backuped data as long as you know the (long) password.
