Do I need to decrypt my home folder in order to do Archive and Install. Does archive and install just copy whatever is in the Users folder on my MacHD to a separate folder so I can get the data out later? I was going to decrypt it to be safe but whenever I click "Turn off FileVault" it starts and then it says copy error, can't decrypt, filevault is still on (i've tried repairing permissions, etc.). I just don't want to finish the installation to realize I've lost my data. Thanks.
