Yet another FileVault Question

[MacD]

It very much is a tradeoff. I don't want Disk Rescue to recover files and obviously, if I have a crash of either the drive of corruption of the image, and I have not be diligent in my backups, then yes, I am screwed and Disk Rescue will not help me out.

However, most people are HERE on this forum because they WANT to be diligent about backing up their data and they want to know the best way using the methods available under various circumstances, including, but not limited to using FileVault.

I think it is honorable to have people concerned with backups because most people I know, don't make backups and live dangerously.

I think what most folks with Encryption backup needs want, is an easy to way to "spawn" the event... even if that means being reminded to manually starting an event and having an application like SuperDuper to mount the necessary images and go through the process even if requiring a "start of session" authentication to mount encrypted volumes would be a good thing.
