I've been thinking about trying it, but never did..
AFAIK it should look as an normal rsync server for BackupPC, so it could work.


My concern about this is it hasn't seen a new version in 7 years... it looks un-maintained/abandoned. Does it even support the more recent rsync protocol version?

IMHO, you would still benefit from the advantages of backuppc (web interface, scheduling, and even pooling (within the one host, not shared to multiple hosts).

BTW, I suppose if you used the same private key for a group of machines (eg, all belonging to the same department), then you would also get dedupe across multiple machines.

You could use that to encrypt an archive copy of a host, but it wouldn't work for encrypting the whole backup directory, which is what I believe he is looking for.

You might be able to use something like stenc (http://sourceforge.net/projects/stenc/). We use it at work to encrypt the stream to LTO tapes. That said, I don't know if it will work with backuppc....and if you trust sourceforge...

    I am also looking for a reasonable solution for encrypting
    remote backups.
    Encryption of the underlying filesystem on the remote end would
    not do the
    job because data are readily accessible as long as the
    filesystem is mounted.

    I would like encryption on the local end with a key that is kept
    local and
    a salt, e.g. the md5 checksum of the file. This ensures
    encryption already
    when file is in transit. For my setup, this would require getting in
    between reading the local file and transferring the then
    encrypted file via
    rsync (similar principle for restoring file).

    Could this be achieved with custom commands?

    Best regards
    Boris
