Securing sensitive data on an iPod

The iPod has a nice, large hard drive in it, so many people (myself included) like to store certain important data on them, just to keep a backup in case a computer’s hard drive fails. While this is a quick and easy way to back up documents, it’s not necessarily the safest way to store data, fortunately, I found a great guide on securing the sensitive data on your iPod. The process requires that you have a Mac, as you need to use the Disk Utility built into OSX, but this could certainly be adapted for other operating systems with the right tools. Using the Disk Utility, you’ll be able to create a password-protected disk image which you can then mount to retrieve your data. Get all the details over at NonStopMac.com.
