Has anyone else tried setting up an encrypted drive?
Wow, what POS software comes with this thing!! It claims to be Leopard and Time Machine compatible.
After installing "Freecom Hard Drive Pro" software, for which there is no updated version for OS X since last year's version on the freecom.com support website:
- it enables the "backup" button on the HD, which, rather than triggering Time Machine, seems to back up independently from TimeMachine. I stopped it as it was apparently copying stuff over to a different location than Time Machine
- the only reason I bothered to install the software was to use encryption. After installing the software, the manual instructs the user to press the "Encryption" button. This brings up: "you don't have an encrypted partition set up yet" (good). Then click "Configure" / "Modify Encryption":
"UNKNOWN EXCEPTION GETENCRYPTION"
From there it goes downhill!!
Freecom didn't notice this minor detail????????
Perhaps I am being too harsh and someone can come to my rescue with a good pointer? Please!!
