A possible workaround you may want to try (no idea if this will work as I haven't tested it myself, but I see no reason why it shouldn't)--
Since you're already concerned about security, you should be taking advantage of Apple's FileVault technology. Why not move the Moin data directory to your personal folder so that it's also encrypted? Then you can do ad-hoc backups onto your flash drive, or let Time Machine back up for you. :-) http://www.apple.com/sg/macosx/features/filevault/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileVault side note: After reading the 'criticisms' section of the Wikipedia article above, I was amused and amazed that that data can be potentially recovered from the RAM of a computer if it's still warm immediately after shutdown. I assume this works much like how you could see a ghost image on an old CRT monitor or TV for a few minutes after it's powered off. However, assuming that you just the usual collection of data that you want to safeguard, and not military-grade secrets that can topple governments, I suspect you'll be pretty safe and well protected with FileVault. -Rick On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 9:54 AM, Bjarke Roune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been using MoinMoin to store my personal information to great > effect, and I'd like to put it on an encrypted drive (TrueCrypt) so I > can perform backups or have my laptop stolen without worrying about my > privacy. > > However, I've found that on my Mac, the Wiki data HAS to be stored on > the internal harddisk on my laptop.
