Why do you care as long as it bups it?

Have you tried it with a TrueCrypt file? I don't know for sure, but I
would imagine that a TrueCrypt file might have extensive changes if
even only 1% of the unencrypted data changed.

Can you not read and troll at the same time? Mark said "I have Crash
Plan for backups of TrueCrypt volumes".

If I get a minute, I might run a binary compare after changing one
file in a 100 file repository.

Take that minute off your Usenet time.

I looked at the CrashPlan website. I found it a lot more muddled than
Carbonite. A lot of options that are not clearly explained. Carbonite
may not be perfect, but it is what it says in the ads: Backup. Simple.

Why not a floppy disk? Simple. Backup.

I may try CrashPlan if I get time, but my initial impression was only
average.

You are working from a diminished mental state, not surprised.
