Thanks, Jim, I will take your advice and not turn on FileValult either for my iMac hard drive or my backup drives. I do have SuperDuper for a clone backup.

I have never felt a need for Filevault encryption for my main drive, let alone any others.
If I *did* encrypt my main drive (on my laptop) ¨C because I had critical information on it and I traveled around a lot with it ¨C I would *STILL* not encrypt my backups, for fear of getting myself in a situation in which I could not access my drive OR my backups.
