Cases, when you take work home, are not uncommon. There are madly love affair that is involved, but more banal periods burn.
Programmers easier - they almost always use a version control system. And what about the rest? Or if there is no access to the network? For example, if you have to work in the country, where there is no Internet? Or on the road? In this case, you can copy documents onto an external hard drive or USB flash drive. And the data can be encrypted for security. Then even the loss of the carrier is not a problem.
In OS X for a long time, you can create encrypted images. But only Mountain Lion maksimmalno procedure has become simpler. To begin, you connect a hard drive or USB flash drive to your Mac. Once Finder recognizes the new device, right-click on the name of the connected drive (flash drive) in the Finder sidebar.
In the context menu, select "Encrypt (Drive letter)»:
A window will appear where you will be prompted to enter a password, confirm it, and to specify prompts. The latter is necessary in case you forget your password (without access to the data you do not get).
Note that the drive you want to encrypt must use the GUID partition scheme:
Check the partition scheme can be in Disk Utility. Run it, click the drive, click on the tab "disk partition, select the partition, click" Options ":
Encryption procedure will take some time (the more data, the more time is required). Eject the disc at this time is impossible. When the process is complete, the operating system first extracts the drive, and then plug it in again.
Now, when you plug in a USB flash drive or disc to your Mac, a window will appear:
MacWorld writesThat the encrypted drive does not appear in Disk Utility. Therefore, to decode it, you have to right-click on the drive name in the sidebar and select the context menu "Decrypt (Drive letter)»(« Decrypt (drive name) »). I note that on my Mac encrypted disk in Disk Utility still shows.
Well, the last. Use encryption is possible, if all computers are running Lion and Mountain Lion.
