Getting Started - Encryption

[Gregory Forster]

Hi Jake,

     I use Truecrypt.  You can either encrypt all of, or a portion of 
your hard dive, or USB hard drive.  You create a "container" of any size 
you want, within the limits of the available storage. Whatever you want 
encrypted goes in that container.  I have two containers in a 
subdirectory  called "Files", one for business and one for personal.  
For the personal, I not only have my GNUcash files,  I have 
subdirectories housing all my medical files and other very private 
personal data.  For business,  I not only have GNUcash  files, I also 
have tax records, payroll spreadsheets and more in separate folders for 
each year.
