[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1311736, member: 181804"] Our organization uses encryption quite a bit, and while I've not used TrueCrypt, I have used WinMagic and it does ok. Currently, though, I'm using FileVault2 instead, as WinMagic didn't have a Lion client until this week. Encryption is only as good as your physical security. If your drive is encrypted, but you leave it, still running, with someone while you step away for a minute, you've lost security. Also, if you're going to use ANY encryption, have a backup. It's too easy to corrupt a couple bits of data and have the whole drive unreadable. Backups are mandatory with any encryption program, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
