RE: Encryption

It's important to note that encrypted disk is really different than
encrypting your data.

There are two points of encrypting disk.
One is to protect your data in case your disks are ever stolen, resold,
etc.
The other is encrypt the data in transit "IF" you are using SAN based
storage. Not applicable to internal disks.
With disk based encryption the data is not encrypted upon read from any
application.

Other forms of data encryption will stop one user from reading data in a
file, even if they have full data rights.

So with disk based encryption it probably doesn't matter if you have some
tricky utilities to read someone else's qtemp. Even if QTEMP could be
stored on encrypted disk you'd see it decrypted anyway because once it is
off disk it's immediately decrypted.
