I've got a Macbook with OS X 10.5. I have a USB external hard drive and I want to back up my MB to it.
I use PGP Whole Disk Encryption on my MB's hard drive. I want to back up to a Truecrypt encrypted image on the external hard drive.
At the moment I've been backing up to it with SuperDuper! which has been working well so far. The problem is that I will have to jump through hoops to do a full restore from a backup if I ever need to. First I will need to mount the Truecrypt image on another mac, then use SuperDuper! on it to copy files from the image to my MB which I will have to connect with a FireWire cable in target disk mode.
1. Has anybody done this before? I'm afraid that if I have to do this I may get some kind of error with the restored backup not being bootable, or with PGP being upset.
2. Is there any better way?
