Has anyone taken a look at including OpenSSL engine(3) support, enabling the use of hardware crypto-accelerators for Bacula's encryption?
At the moment it appears the taking large encrypted backups puts a decent amount of load on the CPU. On production systems in certain environments, this may not be acceptable when backups run for long periods of time. The engines framework in OpenSSL abstracts the hardware devices from OpenSSL via configuration, causing these devices to be used when compatible ciphers are used. This can be configured in openssl.cnf (provided the application considers this configuration file) or in the application itself. I've tried including this myself, using a Hifn7955 card, without much luck. Does anybody else have any experience implementing this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
