Was thinking about the dangers of using filevault. Specifically, harddrive failure and being unable to access my encrypted data.
Could I work around this potential obstacle by backing up with filevault open?
I know that it has been posted a number of times that it is better to create a nonFV account and backup from there to ensure a clean backup.
But what happens if there is something wrong with my home folder (filevaulted) and my backup gets corrupted when I run SuperDuper?
I am concerned both my harddrive and backup become inaccessible at the same time.
What about backing up while filevault is open to something like a Rocstor harddrive? The Rocstor drive is encrypted so the backup is not vulnerable.
Any suggestions or clarity on this?
Just wish security was more simple or better yet unnecessary.
