Re: [Duplicity-talk] Recover backup after using PhotoRec

[Thiago Coutinho]

Hi Scott.

The repository and a copy of my home was corrupted, that's why I think these files maybe are the gnupg keys.

address@hidden:~/PhotoRec.by_ext/gpg$ file *
f152191232.gpg: GPG symmetrically encrypted data (CAST5 cipher)

f917996208.gpg: data
f917996224.gpg: data
f966395616.gpg: data
f966395632.gpg: data

What I have to do? Copy one of "GPG key public ring" file to ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg, another to ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg and try to decrypt some file? I'm stuck in this.

Thiago,

Why would you think that?  Just because they are small?  I am assuming the photo-recovery program is minimally smart in that it attempted to find a file type and then assign an extension.  The extensions are all .gpg which means that the magic number in the file indicates that it is a gpg encrypted file.  Not a gpg key ring file.  As Kai said, you can check with the “file” command but my guess is that your photo recovery program did exactly that.

The program is trying to tell you that all those files *gpg* encrypted.  If you are sure that those are the key files, rename them and put them in the .gnupg folder and use them.

IIRC it was the depository that was corrupted?  That doesn’t have unencrypted key files in it.

Hi Scott.

I know that without the gnupg keys I can't recover the files, but what I trying to explain is that my gnupg keys are on these gpg files I have, but I don't know how to handle them.

Look, I think these smaller gpg files are my keys:

32K    f766393168.gpg
16K    f780998544.gpg
24K    f781001568.gpg
32K    f917996144.gpg
8,0K    f917996208.gpg
64K    f917996224.gpg
8,0K    f966395616.gpg
8,0K    f966395632.gpg
