Editing FileVault (section)

====Backups====
{{hatnote|These limitations apply to versions of Mac OS X prior to OS X 10.7 Lion only.}}

Without Mac OS X Server, [[Time Machine (macOS)|Time Machine]] will back up a FileVault home directory only while the user is logged out. In such cases, Time Machine is limited to backing up the home directory in its entirety. Using Mac OS X Server as a Time Machine destination, backups of FileVault home directories occur while users are logged in.

Because FileVault restricts the ways in which other users' processes can access the user's content, some third party backup solutions can back up the contents of a user's FileVault home directory only if other parts of the computer (including other users' home directories) are excluded.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://support.crashplanpro.com/doku.php/recipe/encrypted_disks | title=Using Encrypted Disks | publisher=CrashPlan PROe | work=CrashPlan PROe support | access-date=January 21, 2013 | archive-date=January 14, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130114071806/http://support.crashplanpro.com/doku.php/recipe/encrypted_disks | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/use_with_filevault | title=Using CrashPlan with FileVault | publisher=CrashPlan | work=CrashPlan support | access-date=January 21, 2013 | archive-date=October 20, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020011200/http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/use_with_filevault | url-status=dead }}</ref>
