Sorry, I should have been more specific. I manage some PPC Macs and some Intel Macs for my group, so I have to use Open Firmware and EFI
Is it possible to use something like TrueCrypt to encrypt a Mac partition and then use Safeboot to encrypt a Bootcamp partition on the same drive...? Of do they both modify some logicboard startup kernel and make this impossible??? Thanks! By the way, Retrospect has a new version just around the corner. They just released the 3rd beta version and it looks very promising. It makes up for some of the limitations of TimeMachine Andy On Feb 5, 2009, at 9:41 AM, Lee Larson wrote: > On Feb 4, at 10:19 PM, Andy Arnold asked: > >> Do you know if Truecrypt would work with Retrospect? > > I haven't used Retrospect in this century, so I can't say for sure, > but I would be surprised if the two didn't get along.
