File Vault Encryption and Cloning Hard Drives


i have 15" mid-2012 classic mbp both main personal , work computer. own outright, use work related tasks.

university has implemented policy computers-whether or university owned-that used handle sensitive information have employ file encryption. because handle student information(i'm adjunct instructor in addition regular work duties) have follow policy. policy does state file vault in os x meets required encryption standards. i'm not disagreeing policy-in fact think it's great(and necessary) idea-but have small concern it.

i'm planning upgrade computer ssd soon, budget won't permit me buy drive want(1tb samsung evo) until next month. have until end of month implement encryption, , prefer sooner rather later.

had intended clone current drive when installed ssd(what i've done virtually every other ssd installation i've done). i've used carbon copy cloner. i'm wondering if file vault affect ability correctly clone drive.

if will, i'll need go ahead , buy drive on credit(which i'd prefer not do) , clone before encrypting. if, on other hand, can clone after encrypting without issues i'll wait.

know how work?
 


no problem @ cloning file vault encrypted drive. run ccc clone every night. clone won't encrypted. if want clone encrypted you'll need boot clone , turn on same way on normal boot drive.
