I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 with PGP Whole Disk Encryption 10.1.1, on an intel iMac and a MacBook Pro.

Is it safe to back up those machines to external drives (Lacie Firewire) with Super Duper?

Presumably the backups won't be bootable (and it might be safer if they weren't encrypted either, as I have a strongbox to store the Firewire drives in).

BTW, I recall reading that Mac OS X Lion (10.7?) will have WDE built in, which will be a step forward.

Many thanks!
