I keep sensitive data on my machine and have implemented various password/encryption methods to protect access to it. How can I make QRecall fit into this? I want to make sure that the data archived on the external backup drive is at least as secure as that on the main drive.

In the meantime, you might try placing your QRecall archive in an encrypted disk image. I haven't tried that here, but I think it should work.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/364.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/364.page GMT https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/365.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/365.page GMT https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/752.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/752.page GMT
It might also work (with either Time Machine or QRecall) to back up to an encrypted drive. TrueCrypt is a free, open source program that can encrypt entire drives or partitions.

If anyone tries it, let us know if it works.

Also, do I schedule period Captures or does in just happen automatically?

[My previous experience is with SuperDuper!, Carbonite and Time Machine]

thanks, in advance, for your help.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/2893.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/89/2893.page GMT Congratulations!

[quote]How do I make sure the Capture, to a new external HD, is encrypted?[/quote]
Short answer: You encrypt an archive by installing an encryption key. Open the archive and choose [b]Archive > Encryption > Install Encryption Key[/b].

Long answer: See [b]Help > QRecall Help > Guide > Advanced > Encryption[/b].

You'll want to schedule captures, merges, and other periodic maintenance. This is done by creating [i]actions[/i].

The easiest way to get started is to use the Capture Assistent. Choose [b]Help > Capture Assistent[/b] and tell it that you want to create a backup strategy. Choose the archive you've already created and answer the rest of the questions.

The assistant will create a set of [i]actions[/i] to automate QRecall. Review these actions to understand what's been set up. Later you can edit them to refine them, delete them if you don't like them, or create new ones that better fit your needs. If you really don't like the actions that were created, just delete them all and run the assistent again.
