Re: Will turning on Fileault mess up Time Machine
I thought I was the only one who's done that!
I have read so many horror stories over the years of TM without warning refusing to run a backup and the backups becoming?inaccessible, with a fresh start being the only option, losing everything (unless, of course, you keep alternating TM backups).?
Many people think?of CCC as only a cloning app. In fact, you can schedule backups of as much, or little, of your drive as you like, on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, whatever, cycles, and the Safety Net effectively gives you?versioned backups too.

I’ve been making hourly Time Machine backups AND weekly or biweekly clone (SuperDuper) backups for several years. They complement each other nicely. 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) – because I had critical information on it and I traveled around a lot with it – 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.
Different backup methods are better for different situations. Bootable clones are ideal for the situation of “my main drive just died.” Time Machine is ideal for “I just deleted my Documents folder accidentally … and emptied the Trash.” A safe can protect a backup from theft. Off-site backups won't be destroyed in a fire. I haven't worked out a solution yet for “Asteroid strike.” Or for “Global Thermonuclear War”...

Re: Will turning on Fileault mess up Time Machine
HI
I am pretty sure that you need to encrypt the backup drive for File Vault
Here is an article with more information for you:

I asked whether or not I should turn Filevault back on (as my version of Quicken suggested) and if I did, would I be back at square one with an error message that my TM backup drive is not encrypted.

Otto I have to take more time to look at this, but at a quick glance, it looks amazing! If I am correct, they are giving you the ability to write as if you are writing on the paper, but that actually gets translated into computer format so it is searchable. That is so awesome!

You may be thinking of NVRAM which means Non Volatile Random Access

There is a startup maintenance command called Zap the PRAM which is a

that are accessed by the Mac before it finishes booting.

Of course you are right - ?that’s what I meant. ?In fact the command is “nvram”.
For those who like more details, PRAM Is different from NVRAM. ?The following 2018 article says, “?Modern Macs no longer use PRAM; they instead use something called NVRAM (NV for non-volatile)...”. ?I’m not sure what they mean by “modern”.
