The -E flage doesn't work with backuppc - you can either use tar or

Oooh. Hadn't even thought about doing gpg on the files prior to
transmission. Awesome idea. The side benefit of doing it that way is
that I can have clients off-site that have the key, but I do not. I can
back up their data, they can restore it, all the while I don't have
access to their fi
My understanding is that the current Tiger rsync with the -E flag
will do everything needed to make useful backups with BackupPC? Am I
wrong?
Thanks in advance,

I think it would be better to change the ping command to the arpping
command. This way you can block ping requests on the clients (which is
safer), and backuppc is still able to check if the pc is alive or not.
It must be said then that backuppc must have access to the arpping
command which is ge
On linux, this model would use the dm-interface. This could be for
example to create a LUKS encrypted partition. It would - per design -
not protect from an on-line attack with admin rights however.

This is an interesting scenario. I don't think I've seen it before. I've

non-daemon operation) you won't need a VPN.

Rsync it to a mac, keep it on a filevaulted volume. That would do it. :)
FreeBSD has md (memory disk), and you could probably format it with an
encrypted filesystem. Not sure what to tell you so far as Linux goes.
