1. I use external drive 2. Using TrueCrypt I mount the external drive, encrypt its content and password-protected it. 3. I backup all my data to this drive. 4. Data is encrypted, password protected and on un-recognized drive.
Once the drive is connected to a PC, you need to re-mount it using TrueCrypt. To mount the drive you will be requested the password. if you try to open the disk without mounting it first, it is show as un-formatted drive. Nice add-on, i initially partitioned the disk and left the TrueCrypt.exe in it. I can come to any computer, connect the drive via its USB, run the application and get the data (password etc). being using it for a while, works good. nir -- Regards, Nir Grinberg I.T.C.
