i have a lacie 320gb external drive which intend to partition into 100gb x 3.

then im going to create encrypted DMGs each 95gb and put them into each partition.

then ill open a dmg and do a full superduper clone bootable backups into them. this way my information is encypted. ill keep a 3 week rolling backup.

i cant try this yet as im waiting for my macbook and the drive has clones of my old data that i can delete yet.

does anyone know if this idea will work? can you boot from a dmg on an external firewire & usb drive?

ive already backed up user data using superduper into a 35gb encrypted dmg but im thinking it might be different if you need to boot from it in an emergency.

thanks
