Indy,
I too would like to know which commercial programs you recommend .
my biggest fear is that my networking will be affected or if the encryption program malfunctions for any reason , even if I dont lose the key , that I may not be able to access the computer.
I backed up volume headers on some disks but found that those files were also encrypted and so do not know how to use them in case of failure or corruption of the software.
thanks
Bala
