Are Time Machine backups secure?
- by Leandro Ardissone
I have my Time Machine backups on an external disk (WD My Passport with no hardware encryption) and I'm worried if the data stored on the disk is safe in case somebody steals it and connect it to any Mac/PC.
Does any Mac can browse the Time Machine backups? Or are they encrypted in any way?
If no, is there a way to improve security of the backups, should I buy a hardware encryption based HD?
Thanks.
