Backing up MacBook Air Lion & Mountian Lion via WiFi with FileVault encryption enabled
The challenge here appears to be that TimeMachine doesn't support encrypting backups in a native fashion if the backup destination is across a network connection, and TimeMachine fails miserably over WiFi. Can't tell you how many hours of research & real-world experience I've been through to learn that.
So I'm about to download Carbon Copy Cloner to see if it can work across a WiFi connection.
But first, a question: If I have FileVault enabled on the Macintosh HD and I run a backup of that hard drive, does that backup retain any FileVault encryption? Is the backup encrypted and how do I tell? Thanks!

Apple OS
Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
