Can I password a CCC image already made?

acme · 11-06-2009, 08:37 PM

I successfully created a CCC image today..a sparse image of one of my boot volumes.

I would like to put a password on it such that it presents a password field for you to enter the correct password as a requirement for it to open.

I don't see any way to do this. The closest thing is in Disk Utility>Images>Change Password...

but when I select that option, and click on the image in question, nothing happens.

am I missing a step, or is it not possible to do what I want?

thank you!

Drag the sparse image file into the left column of Disk Utility if it's not there already. Select it and click the Convert button. Choose a destination and set encryption at the bottom of the window before clicking Save.
