I don't know anything about this encryption tool; but I would suspect that
you'll need to set it all up as one encrypted store. Otherwise the hardlinks
in the pool won't work correctly.

[BackupPC-users] [Semi-OT] Encrypting backup partitions?

2007-01-11 Thread Bradley Alexander
Its a little off-topic, but does anyone use any kind of encryption on their 
/var/lib/backuppc partition? If so, what do you use and how do you implement it?

I (currently) have a 200GB partition for backups, and I was considering using 
Truecrypt on-the-fly encryption. I'm still on the fence regarding whether to 
set it up as individual containers or one large one. 

If anyone has any wisdom or recommendations, I'd love to hear them...

Thanks,
