To create a new sparse bundle image file, click the "New Image" button in Disk Utility; then select "sparse bundle disk image" from the Image Format drop-down menu. NOTE: In Mac OS 10.5, both FileVault and Time Machine use the SPARSEBUNDLE format; FileVault uses encrypted sparse bundles to secure the home directory; Time Machine creates sparse bundles and only backs up the 8MB chunks that have changed since the last backup.
