Quote from: "greg"Actually, Time Machine will backup the data (encrypted) whether the folder is locked or unlocked. When the folder is unlocked, the hidden disk image is in the parent folder, and Time Machine will back that up.
Yes, you are right. And exactly that possible double backup is bothered by me.

Yes, I have already read this document, but i really like that time maschine is a version-based backup, and it would be nice to also use it with the Espionage images.
Quote from: "greg"Do you mean prevent Espionage from moving the disk image? This is something that may be possible (I'm not sure), but it would require completely changing how Espionage works, and it would have several disadvantages over the current behavior. In short, it may be possible, but the only alternative has some serious disadvantages, and it would require rewriting much of Espionage, so it's unlikely to happen.
Yes, I fully undestand, that this step would imply a rather drastically change to the current product.
What I am concerned about is a complete restore of all my backups, when my complete hard disk is crashed:
The most files can be restored via time maschine but when I have excluded the disk images and folders, I have to manually restore every single disk image out of the backup folder of Espionage (as far as i have understand). And that can be a very annoying job, expecially when i have used many program templates. I need to manually find the right folder both in the backup structure, and also at the target volume......
Therefore another suggestion: Perhaps you could consider to write an automatic backup-restore. I think that would simplify the above steps a lot.
