Good app, but definitely overpriced.
Could be a way more useful with 50% off :)
At least I'd expect a bit richer feature set for that money…

Using sym links that I created in Terminal, I've rerouted all of my primary directories (pictures, music, movies, documents, etc) into my Knox archive, for complete system security. I've recently found that this works with email, as well (Mail.app).

As stated below, while Knox isn't a necessity, it's definitely convenient. After an hour or so of use I purchased a license and have been using it problem-free for over a year now.

Highly recommended!

A small package that does one thing and does it well. While it's not an absolute necessity (you can do the same thing with Disk Utility and sparse disk images), it makes managing encrypted volumes a lot more convenient.
