I am always anxious to hear Lee's discussions on how to protect our  
computers from prying eyes and identify theft.   I also am paranoid  
about backing up everything and have three different backup systems.

Here is another potential problem that I am wondering if there is a  
solution.  Since I have so many firewire drives hanging off my main  
computer and one firewire drive on each of the other computers it  
would really be easy for someone to simply unplug one and walk off.

Is there a way to password protect or encrypt a firewire drive and it  
still work with the automatic backups using TimeMachine, Backup (from  
Apple),  and SuperDuper?  Little good all the protection does in case  
the computer crashes and the drive walk out the door for the use by  
anyone.

Thanks for any suggestions.

John
