About
what kind of things interest me?
Looking for something specific?
“
In
Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger), FileVault stores the encrypted file system as a
Sparse Disk Image, which is basically a single large file. In
Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard), FileVault stores the encrypted file system as a new image called a
Sparse bundle.
[1] Sparse bundles break images into smaller 8MB files called bands, allowing them to be backed up using Leopard’s
Time Machine feature (see below for limitations, however).
