Although everyone on the internet seems to think that's how FileVault works, with Time Machine, that's actually wrong. It works that way in *Tiger*, or in a FIleVault volume you migrated from Tiger to Leopard. If you created the FileVault volume in *Leopard*, it works completely differently. Leopard uses sparse banded encryption for its FileVault volumes. When you plug in the backup device to a Leopard machine, it automatically backs up the machine, changes only, FileVault encryption included, without having to log the current user out. And it's pretty fast too (this is the setup I run). You can't use the Time Machine pretty GUI interface, but you can click into the backup device and see your files (separated by date) and grab them from there. I'm really interested in whether Time Capsule works with Leopard and FileVault. Unfortunately, per the above, as with the above, there seem to be about 10 people on the planet who actually understand this, and apparently none of them write for Macword :( The above comment says that Time Capsule won’t backing up FileVault directories, or actually will, but will only back them up as one big file on logout.

That is, unless the user logs out and runs Time Machine from another account, and even then the FileVault directory is backed up as a single, huge, encrypted file. Good for security perhaps, but useless in real life. No one is going to use it that way. The big advantage of the 802.11n Time Capsule is it can back up over Wi-Fi -- perfect for notebooks. However, anyone with a notebook Mac absolutely should be using FileVault encrption in case the computer is lost or stolen. Hence, Time Capsule is useless for notebook Macs. Maybe the next revision will fix this deal-breaker. It's a pity Apple didn't think this through better, but maybe they were in a rush to release it, like iTunes 7 and Leopard, both of which were released in semi-finished state.
