[QUOTE="nycfonephreak, post: 1507541, member: 284433"] OK, that's exactly what I thought. But when I saw the option in TC for a drive that was already formatted HFS+ I was curious as to whether or not TC worked some magic and was able to make that piece of the drive readable by Windows - but not really expecting this to be the case. The reason for the small images... I back up my data to Crashplan+. As a test, I created a 2GB TC container file, mounted it in TC and moved a small scanned document (similar in size to the files that I'll be storing in the TC folder). Crashplan saw this as a change to the whole 2GB file and backed up the entire file. This took 55 minutes which, I'm guessing, is due to the encryption. Normally 2GB files get backed up very quickly Since I'm only planning on storing scanned financial documents in TC, which might mean 3 or 4 files, each less than a1MB, moved into the TC file every month or two, I'd rather not trigger a 55 minute backup each time.
