OK so I am trying to make all my work space secure especially bitcoin wallet. However I am reading this instructions:
Backup all data
Follow these instructions to backup all the bitcoin data (wallet and block chains) to an encrypted disk image.
Open Disk Utility
Click New Image and choose a big enough size, 128-bit or 256-bit (faster or more secure) encryption and single partition.
Save it somewhere you won't lose it (like your Wuala, Dropbox, Strongspace or whatever)
Choose a safe and strong password
Move everything from ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ to the image
Symlink it back so the app would be able to use it
ln -s /Volumes/Bitcoin ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
Don't forget to mount your image before using Bitcoin and unmount it after quitting.
But I get lost on the last 3 steps can anyone please explain them to a computer idiot. Thanks
