So it might be worth having one bootable back up drive somewhere, but it needs to be locked away -). So I can't really see any real world benefit of CCC over Time Machine tbh, as CCC seems to be slower performing back ups with only slight incremental changes and isn't free, although it doesn't hurt to use a couple of different types of back up software. I'd rather have a non-bootable, encrypted back up than a non-encrypted, insecure, bootable back up. So overrall rather underwhelming for such a raved about piece of software in the Hack community IMO. So FV drive encryption is a far worse option than simply encrypting an external drive using the normal OS X method if I'm not mistaken. Once one has encrypted a back up drive using FV, it is then obviously not possible to boot it up again to switch off File Vault and decrypt it, so to do so you need to wipe the drive and start again if you want a bootable drive. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guideīombich told me that they don't support any 3rd party bootloaders for FileVault encrypted back ups, so it is not possible to have a bootable encrypted back up for a Hackintosh.
