There should be warnings and instructions on how to proceed, like a hint that you cannot go back. Better yet, the encryption should be as fool proof as possible, such that even switching between encrypted and unencrypted poses no trouble. As I've pointed out, currently for me a switch is out of the question since the possibilities to lose something is rather big; the hassle is a bit too much, too. But I will want/need encryption in the future - and I'd like a smooth transition.
