Hi guys
What kind of security do you have on your HDs to protect your data? I mean if so get away w your internal HD?
Joubex:(
 
to protect your data from stealing or hardware failure?

the first.. nothing i guess :-/

the second: multiple backups
 
security

I don,t think about BU, I think about stealing....
So easy to open the Mac pro and take the HD....

Joubex :(
 
If someone has physical access to your system with intent to steal hardware, you really can't do anything to stop a determined thief.

If you have sensitive data you are trying to protect from recovery after physical theft then you need to encrypt the data with something like TrueCrypt.
 
But as I abbreviated above Apple already offers encrypted protection. It's called File Vault. ;)

I have read that File Vault is terrible in many ways… I for one use PGP WDE, but unfortunately have had to remove it until they release an updated version for Snow Kitty.
