Super Duper and FileVault

Hello, I am investigating FileVault to encrypt my home folder. Looked through the SuperDuper user guide and it mentions that if you use FV, make sure to backup from a non-FV account.

I just wanted to make sure, if you do that the result is that the backup will also be encrypted correct ? The user guide doesn't spell that out, so I just wanted to make sure.

Anyway, I've never turned on FV before, so are there any other issues with it people know of when using it with Super Duper? From a search through this forum I came up with it being slower, but not much else. I suppose it just copies everything bit by bit, so it doesn't really matter to SD itself whether something is encrypted or not, outside of the necessity to be logged into a non-FV account.
