[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 798725, member: 3850"] Good question... I'd guess everything is backed up unless you've specified otherwise under the Time Machine preferences. But you can easily check by going to the time machine folder on your backup drive and navigate through to the Users folder. If both account names are in there, select the oldest backup and check out the size of the secure account. If the size is about 60GB you should be alright. If you copy disk images around, they remain password protected. [/QUOTE]
