Re: Full disk encryption?

I encrypt my laptop. Encrypting a server or even a home desktop is tricky. How easy is it to recover individual files from an encrypted backup? If your backups are not encrypted, how do you protect your backup media?

How do you make absolutely sure you do not forget the encryption key, store it in the company safe?

This is one reason why I do not want my primary credit card stored on commercial servers.
