In order to encrypt the files, you would have to modify backuppc so that it can read the encrypted files for comparison purposes. This should be possible as it has already been done for compression, but it would not be as easy as adding a custom command somewhere. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
