Use an encrypted disk image
Authored by: hamarkus on Sep 28, '07 05:20:40PM

As even a very small corruption of this encrypted disk image file can make your data un-retrievable, I would not want to rely on this method as my sole back-up and at least combine it with a local, un-encrypted back-up, or simply with other independent back-ups.

Precisely, it's not ideal to rely on this as your only backup method. I'm using this in addition to my local (non-encrypted) backup to an external drive. The idea is it's a good insurance policy in case your home gets robbed and they take your external drive as well. Hopefully it will never be needed anyway, but I sleep a bit safer at night knowing I have something out there just in case...
