I will try posing the question to TrueCrypt and see if anyone has seen this before. In the mean time, I will do a test backup on a small hdiutil partition to see if it works. I will surely document my work. In terms of scripts, I was going to cron a backup every 2 hours assuming that the backup directory is in place- if not, it would fail silently. Additionally, automator can run the backup script when the volume is successfully mounted using truecrypt. I do not think these are highly technical things, but I will put the scripts up anyway. _______________________________________________ http://www.lbackup.org lbackup-discussion mailing list lbackup-discussion@lists.connect.homeunix.com http://lists.connect.homeunix.com/listinfo/lbackup-discussion
