[QUOTE="ovbg, post: 1317526, member: 162687"] The same security as the computer, behind a locked door. One is in the basement, the other is in the apartment. Of course, I would like the Time Machine in the cellar to be encrypted. Can Time Machine encrypt the files? I would love to back up online but as my files take around 2TB of data this is not an easy option. It would take forever to make the initial backup. I know some companies offer to take a physical hard drive for the first backup, but this also requires purchasing a 3TB hard drive to cover everything just for that one off use. But then some of those services don't offer a Hard Drive for recovery. If my iMac was stolen, I wouldn't want to wait 6 months for the 2.2TB backup to finish downloading. [/QUOTE]
