follow up: I did test that the mounted, encrypted volume can be backed up with Time Machine. It works exactly as I suggested above: when the volume is available, it is included in Time Machine's backup, and Time Machine proceeds normally backing up the disk image file when the volume isn't mounted.
I have not tested the configuration of Mail and Mail Downloads folders accessed through aliases by Mail.app on Leopard yet, but that worked fine on Jaguar, Panther and Tiger. -- Godfrey www.gdgphoto.com www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto www.twitter.com/godfreydigiorgi -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
