Jon, that will be too much work to do every month, and I can't have that folder in a disc image on a regular basis. I just like the right click encrypt the drive, boom done. I heard there might be 3rd party app for that?

Darn, the SD not making a recovery drive has a new hitch!


For the first time, buying the new 27" I'm putting Data on the Mac HD, So in the past, I never did that. I always left the Mac HD pure so never saw this before. I can't make a spare drive for the data as I use it too much on a daily basis and cannot be encumbered.

Maybe there is a 3rd party app that can encrypt the drive quickly with the fast right click? Maybe that is the best solution, or consider bailing on SD for CCC. Though I like SD for a long time. It's off site, and the odds on anyone getting to it is rare.

Also have this idea: Maybe before taking it off site, and then again when bringing back, just move the data from the OS drive to the data drive. pita.
