that has been my concern all along. Retrospect is very flexible, can't wait to get my hands on the new version

Thanks Andy, this sounds like the best way to go, finally someone does it right. Who wants to turn over a drive for repair that is a wide open book?!!

Retrospect 8 was just released last night. I have used Retrospect for years and it does encrypt the backups sets (at least previous versions did and I assume version 8 will as well). I am just about to start reading the details:



Retrospect 8.0 for Macintosh has been released and is available for
immediate upgrade from the Retrospect.com website.

The total list of new features and changes are too long for a simple
email, but you can read all of the details from the following locations:

All the preparation in the world and then you hand them your entire world!!!!

The reviews on the G-Technology firewire drives was impressive and with a 3 yr. warraranty I decided to go ahead and move my backup protection to these drives. I had purchased three of them.

Within 1 month one of them would no longer work. (of course) I had a choice, let several hundred go out the window or send in the drive for them to repair. This means that EVERYTHING about my life I have on my machine is now in the hands of someone I have no idea about their honesty, if nothing else it is none of their business where I spend my money, what my credit card numbers are, all my music, family photo's, wills of all types, estates I have settled, SS numbers, Quicken, Morgan Stanley, National City....on and on I could go.

The very thing I was trying to prevent I willingly handed over to another person(s).

Is there ANY way using TimeMachine, Apple's Backup, or SuperDuper to encrypt the backup? I never want to do this again and I may be safe with this but then again I may not be, or it may come back to haunt me years down the road.

If none of these backups will encrypt will the forthcoming Retrospect 8 for the Mac?

Need your suggestions.

John
