[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1312108, member: 45350"] The big advantage/difference with Filevault 2 is the ability to encrypt external drives (which IMO is the way to go). I would NOT encrypt my Home folders (which Filevault does); if I need to encrypt something that will reside on an internal drive then I would use and Encrypted Disk Image. If you do it this way you may occasionally lose a drive or disk image (things happen, but that is why you have backups) but you don't lose your entire User Account. Disk Utility is your friend here both on setting up encrypted disk images and using Filevault2 on external drives. If you need more info/help, just ask. [/QUOTE]
