Re: encrypt linux backup folder using gpg
Hi Francesco, Thanks Francesco for the email. I have encrypted the file using my gpg key. How do i share the encrypted helloworld.gpg file to the recipients. For example j...@example.com. Do I need to encrypt the file to the recipients id using gpg pub key? Any examples to understand it better. Please comment. This works for me. #gpg-zip --encrypt --output helloworld.gpg -r kaushal helloworld Thanks in Advance and i look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I am using CentOS 7.5 Linux OS in my setup. I have compressed a folder using tar utility tar czvf backupfolder.tar.gz backupfolder. Is there a way to encrypt backupfolder.tar.gz using gpg? Are there any best practices to use gpg application to encrypt the data. Any help will be highly appreciated and i look forward to hearing from you. #tar czvf backupfolder.tar.gz backupfolder Thanks in Advance.
