Sorry to hear abbout the Jeep & laptop. And for all: o on-disk encryption can be a *good* thing[1] o backups[2] o good to change passwords and other authentication tokens once in a while - especially if one suspects they might possibly have been compromised.
1. I've had darn near everything on drives encrypted for years now 2. Likewise I've been encrypting at least all off-site backups for quite a number of years now too. That still leaves the key management issues and issue(s) of backups of keys ... but that's slightly simpler issue and much smaller volume of data - heck, could even be done on some bit(s) or sheet(s) of paper). One can also XOR and split keys, etc., e.g. to have N of M requirements to recover key, where N>1, and any <N components provides zero information/bits/bytes of the key itself or in any way weakens or compromises any data about the key.
