[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1899415, member: 396914"] As we have found, John, TM changes the target drive to Case Sensitive. As for FIle Vault and encryption, your image in post #120 (wow, that's a lot of posts for one thread) shows that File Vault is ON for the internal storage. That means it is encrypted. So, having FV ON (encrypted) and encryption OFF on the TM drive is what is triggering that particular message. No harm in that, but if you are encrypted on the internal drive for a reason (and not just because it's the default and you missed where to turn it off), then you may want the backup to be encrypted as well because if you do not, and if a nefarious individual gets that drive, they can read what is there easily. On the other hand, if you just missed that encryption was on (FV defaulted to it), you can leave the backup unencrypted. You can even turn FV off on the internal drive if you want to, but it will take, as I said, some time to decrypt all of that data. But you can also leave everything just as it is. No hammer needed. :) [/QUOTE]
