Hi,

I have read in a few places, like this (
http://mykek.com/os/ecryptfs/ecryptfs_with_backup.html) that it is possible
to backup the encrypted files of the Unbuntu encrypted home directory to
restore them later if need be. However, I was unable to find out if it is
possible to do the backup when I am logged in to the session (with the
encrypted home mounted/being accessed.

Does anyone know if it will be ok / not cause problems later, when I need
to restore the backup? I am not quite sure why it _could_ cause problems,
but just to make sure...
