What keeps me from updating that I am confused about the way forward regarding FileVault & APFS. I currently have FileVault enabled as I need my drive to be fully encrypted (liability for my clients). I want my backups to be encrypted as well.
But now APFS solves disk encryption on FS layer instead of going through CoreStorage. And I'm confused about the way forward for me.
Is there some documentation that explains
1) What happens to FileVault/Backups during initial conversion?
2) Am I better off to disable FileVault and then encrypt using APFS?
3) How does the APFS full disk encryption work? Does it have any problems, especially backup related?
4) Can I enable/disable FileVault after the conversion?
