Leopard and FileVault won’t work well with Timemachine

I hadn’t posted recently to the techblog, so thought I would post my thoughts on using Filevault with Time Machine after hearing a colleague’s frustrations with Time Machine.

In short – Time Machine is suitable for consumers, and Filevault good for businesses, and if you want to use both you are in trouble. Using an encrypted disk image just for the files you want protected and you can use both happily – see my post above for full details.
