How do you use the password in an automated backup then?
Actually, I do not automate it. This is the command that I use to make
the tarball:
$ tar -zcvf - /home/user/ | openssl des3 -salt -k PASSWORD | dd
of=DATE.tbz
And this one to decrypt it:
$ dd if=DATE.tbz | openssl des3 -d -k PASSWORD | tar zvxf -
Well, I was looking for a more streamlined solution. Something that is:
1) automatic
2) offsite (e.g. online)
3) bandwidth and space efficient (due to (2) above)
4) (opt.) encrypted
5) incremental
I currently use rdiff-backup, but it does not abide to (3) above. I started
looking into duplicity (from the same author), and then thought about
description, hence the original post.
