[QUOTE="wheelguy12, post: 1226543, member: 197775"] It appears to be perfectly behaved. On the TrueCrypted NTFS drive, the sparse bundle is just a file folder with thousands of 8meg files in it - very easy to manage. I defined the folder to be compressed, and am seeing about 0.75x shrinkage in space required because of this (25% savings). Even better - according to the following article, TM will automatically expand the sparse bundle to fill the remaining space on that hard drive without me having to do anything.
