Hi,
I'm about to try out Tarsnap for the first time this weekend, but before doing
do, wanted to check on a couple of things.
1). Is Tarsnap suitable for _all_ file types, or are there any types of files
that it has problems with? I'm intending to back up quite a different variety
of file
I've found tarsnap to be most effective for multiple point-in-time
backups of uncompressed, mostly unchanging data. Any file type is
supported, but alternate file streams or other unique filesystem
specific features may not be supported. If you don't know if you're
using these, then you're not :)
Thanks,
This seems to satisfy my use-case. It seems like I can have the master key
encrypted and the -w key be unencrypted.

I can't recommend Tarsnap to others as a viable primary backup tool.
Primary backups should always be on-premises, no? Nothing will be
faster than locally attached storage.

That’s arguable if you’re not dealing with
