Can I create an encrypted Time Machine backup on a SoftRAID volume?

Time Machine supports encrypted volumes on any SoftRAID APFS volume. One cavaet, is RAID 4/5 on HDD (rotating media) are currently very slow when encrypted, so we highly recommend you NOT encrypt RAID 4/5 volumes on HDDs. All other RAID types work fine. Whe you launch Time Machine, it iwill prompt you to encrypt your volume automatically. (SoftRAID 7+ only)
