Hi there,
The RDGP or GDRP is a new law in Europe :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation
it state that; data MUST be protected from top to bottom, this include of course backup. In May 2018 all company in EU
or using data about EU citizen will be subject to this law. From where i see it the GDPR force people to use encryption
on all the data chain including the backup one.
Also it add the right to 'forget' and some seems to include here that customer data should be removed from all the
systems if required and that include backup. Of course for database i dont see how a backup system could erase line
inside its dump files but for simple files we cannot say that. In backuppc i can manualy go erase a directory/file from
all the backups so i should be covered here.
The problem lies more with encryption as backuppc, from what i know, cannot encrypt data it store, it only can secure
the transmit phase.
Rsync or tar have no encryption sytem built so i wanted to know what the other users have in mind to survive the GDPR
laws for their backups ?
best regards,
Ghislain.
A report[27] by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security elaborates on what needs to be done to
achieve privacy and data protection by default. It specifies that encryption and decryption operations must be carried
out locally, not by remote service, because both keys and data must remain in the power of the data owner if any privacy
is to be achieved. The report specifies that outsourced data storage on remote clouds is practical and relatively safe
if only the data owner, not the cloud service, holds the decryption keys.
