Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Encrypted backups

Hi Dave,
I have, I can't use it because of the volume of the data and the fact that it needs a full backup from time to time, hence why I'm trying to extend rdiff-backup...

Thanks,
Stavros

Subject: [rdiff-backup-users] Encrypted backups

Hello,
I would like a solution that will take incremental, remote backups.
Basically, what I want is exactly rdiff-backup + EncFS, but, for various
reasons, EncFS cannot be hacked to support rdiff-backup.

Therefore, I would like to add encryption support to rdiff-backup
myself. This would encrypt each file/directory separately (including
filenames). An ideal place to put this would be a hook at the place
where rdiff-backup reads/writes local files (as remote files still need
to be rsynced encrypted).

Hi Stavros,

Have you taken a look at duplicity?

http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

It has the same original author as rdiff-backup but is since maintained by others I think.
