charles skipped what i see as a highly critical question, personal backup. my life is on a 13" macbook air, all data, mail back decades (i do not save all mail), etc. the whole drive is encrypted, my main reason for moving to lion. i have two time machine drives, one at home and one i carry on the road. both are encrypted. belt and braces, i also use unison to sync my laptop's home data to a server in colo. it goes to a freebsd geli, i.e. encrypted, partition. all keys and other critical private data are in a text file on my laptop encrypted with gpg, which i use emacs crypt++ to access. that key file, a bunch of x.509 certs, ... are copied to an ironkey usb. randy
