After poking around the Internet, I come up with a backup scheme that I will describe below and see what you backup-conscious Macophiles think ... Some background:
So here's the scheme I have in mind:
A couple of things I am unsure about:

I guess you need to find out if Déjà Vu can back up to an encrypted sparse image volume. |

I have no idea. I use TimeMachine, Retrospect and Carbon Copy Cloner. I don't worry about off site backups for my personal stuff. If it gets destroyed so what? All business and customer related stuff is always in a state of off-site backup.

Deja Vu's developer replied to my query that it " should" work with encrypted sparse image, and urged me to just try it out. Though he doesn't say which is better: sparse image or sparse bundle. I think I'm going to use sparse image on one disk, and sparse bundle on another disk, and just observe which one works better over some period of time, then standardize on one if there is an appreciable difference on how well each works. |
