Hi Ladies and Gents, Box Backup (new to me and available in backports for debian stable (etch) and http://wiki.rdiff-backup.org/wiki/index.php/BackupToEncfsAcrossSshfs (perhaps couple this with backupninja to mount/umount encfs via bash script) both great solutions thanks guys. I guess it all depends on the situation you are faced with for some good logic, that I re-read when required: http://wiki.boum.org/TechStdOut/EncryptedBackupsForParanoiacs My current problem to solve is as a home user, 3 networked machines to backup + 1 remote I help to admin and my internet connection is now rubbish (used to have ADSL2+ now 3G wireless). So I guess I will be turning to an encrypted 2.5inch lappy drive in usb carrier, symmetrically encrypted (think 25-30 char passphrase) since I will be carting it to work as the offsite backup and find keeping keys safe painful. Then run backupninja: -Tidy-up bash scripts -Mysql database dumps. -Rdiff-backup Local-->Local (multiple onsite) -Rdiff-backup Remote-->Local (very low volume pull) -Mount scripts -Rdiff-backup Local-->EncryptedDrive (carried offsite) -Umount scripts Cheers Gavin Chris Wilson wrote: Hi Gavin and ahd71, On Sat, 9 Aug 2008, Gavin wrote:Yes I have had need for this too, both solutions you mentioned (encrypted remote fs and duplicity) are the best tools I could find. So what I ended up with was a local /backup using rdiff-backup and then backing that up to remote host using duplicity. Backupninja is great for tailoring a backup /system/ using bash scripts, rdiff-backup, duplicity, myslq dumps and more.Have you looked at Box Backup for encrypted backups? Cheers, Chris. |
