Thanks for your quick reply and for confirming the details! I will give Espionage a try shortly.

Espionage 2 / Re: Espionage and the Time Maschine problem
March 02, 2010, 02:52:50 PM
So, is my understanding correct that the problem with Time Machine is two-fold:
One, that Epsionage moves the file when its locked/unlocked, so Time Machine will see it as a separate file and will back it up again when the state changes. And, two, that it can't use the Time Machine 'interface screen' to go back in time, since TM sees the folder as a(n invisible) disk image, and not as the separate files.
Is that right? Those would be okay with me because I plan to use Espionage solely to encrypt some financial info folders. It's not so large that the first one causes an issue. For the second, I use really only as an 'archive', that is, I just add things to it, I don't delete things or move things, and so I can't imagine needing to actually use the Time Machine interface to go back in time with it.
I just want it protected so that only I can see it, and I want it backed up so that if my data is ever lost, I can restore it as part of a full restore. Is there any problem doing a full restore from Time Machine on Espionage-controlled files? Or will that work as expected?
