Hi,
I suppose that I'm not alone having this requirement - how do you solve it?
I have been searching for month for an optimal way to do backups. The nearest I
have come (and always returns to) is rdiff-backup which have all feature I want
- except the possibility to encrypt files saved at the remote host. In some
case I do not trust the remote end and wants to have my information encrypted
in some way.
I know that duplicity handles the encryption part in a way I like but as it is
much data over a relative slow wan link i can not use full backups (more then
once!) and want the great incrementel backup of rdiff-backup without having to
store all increments forever (and use all of them in case of a restore).
The encryption requirement must not be solved by rdiff-backup alone !!!
One possibility that I have though about is to combine it with a encrypted
filesystem at the remote end. In that case I suppose I have to login via SSH
after remote end reboot to enter the password to mount the encrypted filesystem
(and that's acceptable)
As I wrote initially, I suppose that I'm not alone having this requirement -
how do you solve it?
