Time Machine clarification

[dimitri_b]

Espionage 3 announcement mentioned that this new version works better with Time Machine. I tried to make some sense out of this and out of what I observed by examining Time Machine backups, and I have a few questions?

1)when the encrypted folder/image is unlocked/mounted, will Time Machine back up its unencrypted contents?
2)does the above folder/image need to be, or can it be, excluded from TM backup via TM options?
3)does the image itself (the .sparcebundle file in Espionage library folder) need to be locked for TM to back it up, as was the case with Espionage 2 built-in backup?
3)TM is supposed to do incremental backup, does it also work with Espionage .sparcebundle files, i.e. images located in Espionage 3 library folder? In other words, if I have 1000 files in the folder taking up 1Gb, but only one of the files changes - will TM back up the whole 1Gb, or just a segment?

Thank you, Zsolt,

That was very informative, I have no further questions or concerns with TM.
