Is a SD clone of a Lion FileVault protected computer also encrypted?

[mmueck]

If I do clone my Mac's encrypted hard drive to another drive using your suggestion about running SD from a Lion pen drive, then presumably if I want to later extract a couple files from the back up drive then how would that work? In the old FV I would double click on the sparse bundle and enter the appropriate password to access it. Now the whole back up drive will be encrypted. Do you know for sure if I'll be able to access it freely - I guess I'm assuming the Finder in Lion will prompt me for a password or decryption key, right?
