Single directory backup problems

[ebrindley]

Wow! Rumors of the legendary Nanian Short Response Time (NSRT) are true! Thanks for the quick reply Unfortunately, protecting my data is imperative. I'm aware of the other options but FileVault is the best option because it covers not just my documents but email data, temp files, cache files, etc. Backing up the entire FileVault image is not a good solution because a few megabytes may change per day and I don't want to back up 2.5GB over the 'net just for those (relatively minor) changes.

What is it about FileVault that's such a challenge? The image at /Users/.me/me.sparseimage is mounted to /Users/me and is treated as a Volume, right? After reading such glowing reviews of SuperDuper!, I'd like to make this work.

Can you give some tips or thoughts to try?

Thanks,
Ed
