Hi All,

I have a question on this topic. If you encrpt a backup and then do subsequent 
backups to iTunes, do all of the future backups become encrpted? I hope this 
question was clear enough. I have a braille data base in my Apex and a braille 
index card box for all important user names and passwords. There's too many for 
me to keep track of these days. Just a suggestion for the list.

Best,
Eileen
