Hi everyone,
I have a MBP15 that is using full disk encryption (Checkpoint FDE). This is mandatory due to the nature of my business.
With that my backup needs to be encrypted but not necessarily bootable. If I have a disaster, I would just put a new hard drive in, reload Snow Leopard, then CCC, then start restoring (I think)
So I have an external hard drive and used True Crypt to create a container on the drive.
I first did a full full backup to that True Crypt container. Now I want to update or at least make sure any new files I've got on there, or modified ones, are now on the backup.
Do I just select as the source the entire hard drive again and then just select incremental? Seems easy, almost too easy which is why I am asking the question.
I did just that and the folders look the same inside the True Crypt container. I watched the progress and saw some stuff get copied over. I thought it was going to make a new folder called /Incremental Backup date such and such.
Bottom line is I want 99.99% assurance I'm doing this backup thing the right way so in case the time comes, I don't have a heart attack because I messed something up.
Any insight or advice would be very appreciated.
Matt
