Hi there,
The RDGP or GDRP is a new law in Europe :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation
It is GDPR after all, but does not mather. Most people confuse this with
encryption. But this is not about encryption. This is about the controlled
access to the data. As long as you know users with right to restore
backups and you have a log you should be fine.
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.
This goes crazy, you often can not delete the user data for other legal
reasons as you had a contract with the user that you have to store for
some time to fullfil other regulations. Only a spectial care may be needed
when restroing old data, but as you should remove user from your data
including the note that you've deleted them, you can not know what user
data you deleted, right?
best regards,

If you are a company, you should have at the first place the
Data protection officer that will define the processes, rights and
hierarchy to access the data, what really is a private user data in your
structrues etc. He may or may not require you to implement
the encryption.
