Hi,
I use the OS X FileVault capability to have my home directory encrypted.
My home directory contains a great deal of data, as well as a number of Parallels virtual machines, and thus, the encrypted image representing this vault is quite large (around 60 GB).
When I use SuperDuper, my home directory is backed up as the encrypted image and not as the unencrypted tree of folders. This means that if I make a tiny change to one file, the image changes and SuperDuper must backup this entire multi-GB file, taking a huge amount of times (several hours).
Do you have any advice on how to manage the situation? If possible, I would like to retain the FileVault capabilities.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
