Does Backup 3.1 still work?
We have been backing up the contents of the encrypted home directory (not the item itself).
Also, OMB spec's encryption and specifically does not specify full disk encryption. I take it that AKO's requirement is FDE?

There at least one major deal-breaker for me. The inability to have granular backup and restore when FileVault is enabled is a serious deficiency. As data-at-rest security policy here requires all accounts be encrypted (technically, it calls for full-disk encryption, but IA/Security has allowed FileVault as a compromise), Time Machine is not very useful. I guess I'll just keep using Backup 3.1.1...
Can any of the Apple SEs on the list give an indication if this is something that will be corrected before too long, or are we security-conscious types just out of luck if we'd like to utilize one of Leopard's main incentives to upgrade?
